I Agree, Lets Follow Europe's Example

So here is the scoop.... Greece just re-elected conservative Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis who hopes to make economic and educational reforms, including overhauling Greece's fractured and debt-ridden pension. So far "the country's economy has done well under the conservatives, with robust consumer spending and strong property market. Growth was expected to continue at more than 4 per cent this year -- one of the fastest growth rates in Europe. Unemployment has also plummeted."

And now Sweden, SWEDEN of all places, just elected conservative leader Fredrik Reinfeldt's. This super Nanny state and wet dream system of American liberals, has just switched gears. I would try to sum this article up, but it is totally an amazing story and must be read in it's entirety.

With socialist Europe and Canada one-by-one electing conservative leaders, we should all sit up and take notice. Maybe this whole welfare state thing isn't such a good idea after all. Europeans seem to be getting a clue. Good for them.

Which leads me to the bulk of my post. These two... numbnuts and their wack ass healthcare plans need to be feared and shunned.

Look, I know healthcare costs are through the roof, but that is because we need to take government out of healthcare not turn it into a Monopoly. I am telling you I am right on this one, but if you don't believe me then see what happens when a one pay system is put into place.
That is just one example. Once government takes over healthcare, insurance companies wont be able to compete, private practices wont be able to compete, emloyees will work for state run facilities, and the whole system will become one horrible socialist mess.
Anyway, just thought you would like to know.
