Social Welfare and the Environment

Europe, the model for social welfare government programs, has a problem. In order to pay for the lavish benefits offered to citizens, there must be enough people paying taxes into the treasury. The problem occurs as spending rises and more jobs must be created to pay more taxes which means more immigration, larger cities, and dreaded encroachment. Europe is facing a shrinking animal habitat. So, once again we see progressive left-wing ideas at odds with a sustainable environment.
