Europe is slipping down the wrong path. Instead of embracing the new, it's holding tighter and tighter the old. In Italy there are many commercials about the good old days that is frightening. And the very bad thing is that those that are below 40 or 30 or 20 are aiming at what the "old" people have or had, so they stay quite, they don't complain, and wait for their turn to be rich. This is an extremely dangerous situation. There is no way in the world that with that kind of thinking we get out of the debt crisis. There is no way in the world that we even can keep up our promises of a welfare State in the future. This will create higher and higher social friction; somehow France is showing this earlier than other countries (must be a French thing, like the French revolution, they always come first). I mean, increasing taxation, without spending cuts, ends up mostly affecting the young. But if the young stay quiet and wait, who is going to fight this back? That's probably 1 of the biggest problems we have in Europe nowadays: the people that should fight for change and a liberal economy are not, they actually want a protected economy because they want the old to stay healthy, so they will be when they replace them.
