Do you need me to translate this to you to simpler English, or can you handle it on your own?

Excuse me? When did English become your first language?

Read it a few times if you have any problems, call for help.

Yeah, right......with your spelling and grammatical errors, I'm going to ask for you help. LOL.

It is routine for people who speak the language of the right (in economic terms) to call countries like Austria Socialist, because of large number of people and economic activity working as part of the government, either providing services that could very well be done by private sector, or in ever growing administration, or working in state owned enterprises (nationalized or otherwise).

Frankly, I don't give a damn what the perceptions are.......Arnold misspoke. The Austrians got it and so did I......if you're confused, then so be it. I think you may be hanging out at RNC party headquarters too much.........you're beginning to spin your way out of everything! Ease up!

Here is an example I just came across:

OLD EUROPE ON THE BRINK: Will Hutton rightly observes the slide toward steep decline in France and Germany. But he's wrong about Europe as a whole. Britain, unshackled by Thatcher from socialist economics, is as vibrant as it's ever been in the past fifty years - culturally and economically. Hutton, of course, frets that this coud mean the end of the EU as a viable institution. Man, I hope so.

Clearly, you don't get it. Thatcher was an ultra conservative who made some significant changes to Brit.'s economic infrastructure. Prior to her arrival, Brit. was considerably more socialist than when she left.

Here's a brief description of what we changes she made:

<font color=brown>"As Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher privatised numerous state industries, liberalised the labour market, initially implemented a monetarist economic policy and curbed the power of the trade unions. These economic reforms are largely seen to have produced Britain's strong economic performance over the last decade, since governments' post-Thatcher (which include John Major's Conservative administration and the New Labour government of Tony Blair) have by and large embraced, accepted and instituted such policies."<font color=black>

So, Joey, save your hubris and spin for the boys at RNC headquarters.......it ain't going to fly over here.

Have a good one! ;~)
