Video: EU Tries to spend its way out of Recession – Sound Familiar?
(I remember saying to my daughter, when she was younger, “Why don’t try learning for someone else’s’ mistakes? You can’t live long enough to make every mistake yourself!! Just a thought…)
But you will not believe what the EU is trying to fight for now.....(seriously, this is not a joke....) They want to make vacationing and traveling a "RIGHT".....wow. The NEW Bill of Rights is about to get added to! Not just the right to a nice house, nice car, free food and medical, and education and welfare, etc etc....but now, free TRAVEL? I don't know if I should laugh, cry or scream....It is already the "right" of men in prison here in Calif, to have hormone induced "boobies" at taxpayer expense. Guards get pay cuts, but by golly, those "guys" get their boobs. And don’t forget ObamaCare is going to pay for Viagra for Pedophiles. I think I need a paper sack to blow into....the world is going mad!
(oh yeah....and the feds want to take your salt away, too! Dear LORD!)
Vacationing a human right, EU chief says
By Katherine Laidlaw, National PostApril 19, 2010
The plan would see taxpayers footing some of the bill for families facing "difficult social, financial or personal" circumstances.
The European Union has declared traveling a human right, and is launching a scheme to subsidize vacations with taxpayers' dollars for those too poor to afford their own trips. Antonio Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry, proposed a strategy that could cost European taxpayers hundreds of millions of euros a year, The Times of London reports.
"Traveling for tourism today is a right. The way we spend our holidays is a formidable indicator of our quality of life," Mr. Tajani told a group of ministers at The European Tourism Stakeholders Conference in Madrid on April 15. Mr. Tajani was appointed to his post by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The plan -- just who gets to enjoy the travel package has yet to be determined -- would see taxpayers footing some of the vacation bill for seniors, youths between the ages of 18 and 25, disabled people, and families facing "difficult social, financial or personal" circumstances. The disabled and elderly can also be accompanied by one other person. The EU and its taxpayers are slated to fund 30% of the cost of these tours, which could range from youth exploring abandoned factories and power plants in Manchester to retirees taking discount trips to Madrid, all in the name of cultural appreciation. (Yet the Netherlands is already pushing voluntary (suggested) Euthanasia to help cut socialized medicine costs and people are being denied services and procedures in British hospitals as well as dying of incompetence and indifference of HC Workers… but there is money for free vacations?)
"The commission is literally considering paying people to go on holiday," Mats Persson, of pro-reform think-tank Open Europe, told Britain's News of the World. "In this economic climate, it's astonishing that the EU wants to bribe people with cheap holidays."
Mr. Tajani said the program will be piloted until 2013, and then fully launched.
Intended to instill a sense of cultural pride in Europeans, Mr. Tajani's human-rights travel will also help bridge the continent's north-south divide and pad resorts' business in their off-season, the Times reports.
Northern Europeans will be encouraged to visit southern Europe, and vice versa. Mr. Tajani wants to ensure people's "right to be tourists" remains intact.
(Holy COW! Are they going to be telling them WHERE they can go on vacation? Would you want to be on the subsidized bus for kids 18-25??.....my temples are throbbing!)
