Recommended: Fools Rush in Where Europe Rushes Out

Jonah Goldbergn has an interesting piece in today's LA Times entitled Fools Rush in Where Europe Rushes Out. He wonders, as I have, why the Democrats are in such a hurry to remake America in the European model (massive welfare and pensions, massive government involvement in everything) when the Europeans themselves are all trying to dig themselves out from under all the problems this overspending and over-promising has produced for them. Good question.
