Conservative Failure – New $100 Bill \”Looks European\”

Conservatives just hate Europe. They think the US should be less like Europe.

So following along with this there was a big headline over at the conservative website Drudge Report the other day: \”Even Obama\’s New $100 bill looks European\”.

Here\’s the thing. The Americans that conservative outlets like Drudge and Fox News appeal to with this sort of nonsense more than likely haven\’t been to Europe, so they don\’t know what European money looks like. If they had been to Europe they would also know a few other things about Europe:

* Europe has high-speed rail connecting major cities, and good transportation when you get there.
* Workers get 5-6 weeks vacation.
* Workers get generous pensions.
* People receive great medical care often completely covered by the government.
* Many countries offer paid parental leave.

And if you ask any conservative they\’ll tell you why these are bad things. Go figure.

I suspect that conservatives hate Europe because by comparison it shows off how badly America\’s conservative policies have failed us over the last 30 or so years!
