From: renner@uiucdcs.UUCP:
You might want to read the April 9 issue of Newsweek.  It contains a special
report on "The Decline of Europe," describing how "economic stagnation and
powerful malaise darken the future of a once proud and powerful continent."
A major theme in this article is the political difficulty of eliminating the
many government welfare programs and the economic impossibility of continuing
to pay for them.

------

The WHOLE WORLD is in a recession, not just Europe.  These effects are
independent of the socialiization of the economy.  However, we in the US
are suffering more because of the concurrent destruction of our soical
welfare system that would normally smooth out the recessionary effects.
