US federal historical government spending is an exponential growth graph. As are unfunded liabilities that politicians at some point promised to pay people. EU seems pretty much the same. More gov spending, more social spending. Repeat ad infinitum. Of course, all of this wealth has to come from some place. Not the rich, because they have enough influence and connections to avoid it.

- CapstanRoller 4y agoThere is zero socialism happening. Socialism is not "when the government does Stuff"
