Blowback…the effect of refugees on Europe
I know people here have discussed various things on the threads about the refugees pouring into Europe but there are some things that apparently were not mentioned.
Food prices in the Europe Union are probably going to increase…especially certain types of food. Rice, lamb and mutton possible candidates.
Military surplus items, such as blankets, will be in shorter supply.
Welfare programs and the like will eventually be leaner.
Higher taxes at some point for all those working. Retirement payouts like the U.S. social security will be smaller…just not enough there-not enough people paying in. Or the payouts will not keep up with inflation.
Europe's food stocks will go down. I am not sure what their current food
preparedness policy is…years ago in the 80s I know the EU had a butter mountain-they had refrigerated butter(surplus) on ships because of subsidizing farmers to produce milk.
Probably every European Union member nation will have to take in a certain number of refugees if said member nation is getting money or aid from the EU.
Competition between refugees and people from the less wealthy EU member nations.
However,
there are possibly many more refugees coming. A lot more. What just occurred recently is probably the first wave as a test.
