Interesting. I can see it from both sides of the equation.

Speaking specifically to the article though, the challenge at hand is that the general populous (on both sides of the pond) has not been educated collectively to a sufficient level nor properly socialized to comprehend the real economic ramifications of the social programs that many have come to depend on.

The resulting effect of the shock of removing social systems for those presently using them (or those hoping to use them in the future when they get older or sicker) would be epic. The prevailing mindset is too entrenched for some to see any other alternative. There would be much finger-pointing at big business and/or military operations as being the wasters of funds (among other things) and the resulting debate would be an endless whirlpool of confusion.

The EU is failing drastically, that's certain, but what will be the end-game? If social systems are eliminated or reduced significantly, there would be instant mayhem in the streets. There is a set class who prefer to suck on the teat of the government at the expense of the government (or more precisely the funds from those who actually work and pay taxes - usually the middle class). That set class of persons is not collectively cognizant that their reliance on such services makes them highly susceptible to the inefficiencies, incompetency and varying grotesqueness which plague government-run/funded systems.

Oh well, let it burn. There are numerous other factors in this global equation which no doubt will complicate getting a clear, concise message out to the public without serious kickback and neither side appears to trust one another to a level which would allow them to agree on a clear-cut and permanent solution. Thus they will keep patching the problems, leaving it for the next generation to solve.

The only way that all parties concerned honestly will become aware of the seriousness of this global situation will involve things in the global economy getting much worse before they get better. That is certain.
