Gary Palmer: Greek debt crisis a warning to U.S.

  The focus of the 2010 elections is shaping up to be about the importance of limited government and, of all things, the country of Greece gives us a working example of why this is so important.

  Greece functioned as a “super nanny” by providing expensive lifetime entitlements to all of its citizens and is a government that abandoned any pretense to limits. It is also a government that is flat broke and now dependent on the European Union and the United States to save it. Thus, Greece is the latest example of the failure of socialism.
