Social programs beget social peace
Friday, August 19th, 2011
… governments have created huge deficits for the wrong reasons, such as spending on the military, cutting taxes, and bailing out bankrupt corporations. They now want to balance their budget through cutting social programs. No wonder the people are expressing their frustrations through street protests or joining extremist groups… Japan, Germany, and Norway are good examples of countries that are deeply involved in the world economy but they have kept high standard for their social programs. That is why their streets are quiet and we don’t here protests.
