Generous welfare system broke the Danish economy

[New California Republic]

According to a slew of economic experts, the Danish economy is in a mess and time is running out for the welfare model in its present form. Originally meant to serve the weakest members of society, the welfare state widely expanded in the 1970s, resulting in an explosion in public expenses in what is perhaps the world’s most comprehensive and generous welfare system.

Why work when you don't have too.....that would be the attitude of 90% of the people if we had the socialistic system the DUmmies wish for.

exactly. and on top of that when you have a huge influx of poor immigrants that overburden the system it only creates further debt

we're facing a similar situation with the illegals in california but the libs are running the show here so we're SOL

That is precisely the intention of their agenda, to create a proletariat of welfare serfs to keep them in power forever, comrade.

P.S. Stop by the "Introductions" thread and say hi.

Go figure huh?? People keep taking and taking, because the government allows it...and then the state goes broke. Don't know about CA, but Maine has a no residency status. You can walk into Maine and get all kinds of freebies. The current governor is trying to rectify the problem and people are up in arms about it...Maine isn't good about bringing in small businesses. There seems to be no strong currency coming into the state. The seacoast does well, because of the tourists that they somewhat rely on in the summer. We are "supposed to be getting a resort Casino in Oxford county and a new racetrack in Biddeford, haven't heard much in those areas lately.

We have disability in this country, we have unemployment benefits. We are generous enough, we don't need to be more generous.

[Freeper]

That can't be. Nancy Pelosi herself has told us, that food stamps and unemployment checks boost the economy and create jobs. So how is it possible that welfare spending could bankrupt a country? Unless Nancy is full of shit of course.

Not here, but I wish others like liberals and Dems would do az little research before they cry for socialism. I did a little research on other countries with socialist background

This was another great article I found. Socialism isn't great. These countries are going bankrupt because of so many hand-outs. If certain people did their research, they would see that socialoism is not the route to go....
