Given the demographic challenges of Europe (sub-replacement fertility of the most productive and the vast influx of net-negative aliens), it is wise to crash the system: Abandon welfare, pensions and subsidized healthcare.
With those shackles thrown off, countries have a chance of regrowth. The nation state can maintain national (and border) security, run natural monopolies, regulate pollutants, and that's it. Fund those services with Land Value Taxes.
The alternative is endlessly raising taxes and throwing the country into a deaths-spiral.

- feoren 4y ago> (sub-replacement fertility of the most productive and the vast influx of net-negative aliens) Is there really anything more to this comment than "white children good; brown children bad"? Every study I've ever seen on the effects of immigration conclude that immigration (at the levels seen in Europe and UK) is extremely healthy and that immigrants are "net-positive" (to use your heavily judgy wording) in almost every sense.
- imtringued 4y agoPlease don't throw things out that work, only throw the things out that are actually broken. For the vast majority of people in Germany public healthcare works fine and it isn't really subsidized, just mandatory to for employees to pay in. Government managed healthcare only has one goal in Germany, prevent long term diseases and cure diseases rather prolonged treatment of symptoms as the latter is money thrown out the window.
