The Tranzi Progressive movement is a Europhile movement at it’s core. It seeks to create Transnational organizations that emulate the European Union. In the US the Left has for years said we should copy the European Socialist model. They ignore the fact that Europe has slipped in economic competitiveness in the last 30 years. In short, the Progressives want to import this failed model here to the United States.
Europe’s problems may prove even more profound in the long term. For example, Europe has some of the lowest birthrates in the world. Among 228 countries ranked in terms of birthrate, Europe accounts for 20 of the bottom 28. These include relatively prosperous Germany (No. 226) and Sweden as well as a range of the shaky fringe including Greece, Bosnia, Hungary, Latvia, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
The shrinking population problem is complicated by the fact that the one growing source of new Europeans consists of Muslim immigrants who generally have not integrated well into continental society. Many European countries–Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland, for example–are taking steps to shut their doors, something that may promote harmony and security but could exacerbate the long-term demographic decline.
With their state-driven economies pledged largely to support a growing population of aging boomers, it’s hard to see what new sources of growth will propel the continent in the coming decades. Overall, according to the European Central Bank, the Eurozone’s growth potential is now roughly half that of the United States.

America should avoid Europe’s fate at all costs. Our immigration policy should continue to focus on people from related cultures like Latin America and not the Islamic-Arabic countries. We should focus on economic liberty and not equality of outcome like Europe does now. It is a failed model due heavy taxation and lack of incentives for economic growth. One that America would do best to reject. Instead Obama and his cronies seem bent on turning America into Europe like Progressive Statist system.
Why copy a failed system like Europe has? We should copy a successful system like Hong Kong and other places that have low taxes, less regulation and economic liberty! After all, we developed the concept! Europe is just another failed Progressive model to avoid!
