Well, here its not much better. We are facing serious issues in retirement funding, as the current system will eventually collapse and we young ones will not get anything out of it - yet we have to pay a lot right now and the shithead politicians just raised the retirement amount again...

It's a pretty common problem in most western countries. It's just that, for some reason, people love to bash America for it. The same goes for national debt per capita.


no, that is a bit of a bigger problem in the states than here...especially with what Bush started. so that criticism is justified. Plus look at the trade deficit you guys have over there...staggering. At least we have a trade surplus.


 A trade deficit isn't really a big problem.  The US national debt is a big problem but nothing close to the problem of the unfunded liabilities and that is not all Bushes fault (the fault can be traced to every Congress back to during FDRs time).  Remember, at least in the US, Congress funds the budgets.
