Europe

I don't get exactly what's going on over there, especially background info.
Teabagging reich wingers gloat that the troubles in the EU validate reich wing gripes about the
big bad "welfare state". I don't buy this because the countries with the most
generous "welfare states"-Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, are not having a huge fiscal crisis.
Also, the teabagging reich wing fucking ignores our bloated military. They are just being
hypocritical and disingenuous as always.
Still, can anyone give more pointers about the specifics of the background of the situation?
