Denmark raises retirement age to the highest in Europe, sparking fury: 'No time to be with grandchildren!'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Wonder what Greenland thinks of that.
Are their welfare costs still astoundingly high? What about spending on their Moslem colonists? Somebody has to pay for all that.

#1 25 years in school, 35 years in some government sinecure, and 20years living like a wealthy person on the public dime was NEVER going to work, but Euroland tried to make it seem like it could since the 1930s. It fails in terms of money, and it fails socially. It's finally breaking down for them.

Those here who dream of that system should take note.
