British MEP Daniel Hannan explodes the myth of central government stimulus spending. If printing government money out of thin air worked why not just give everyone a few hundred million dollars and we’d all be rich. We could pay 50% in taxes, there would be no debt, no need for welfare and and everyone could buy whatever they want. This is the ultimate lunacy of Keynesian deficit spending.

Eurozone leaders warn that a recession is coming. Yup: and whose fault is that?
The reason that the eurozone faces such hard times is that its leaders have decided to keep the single currency together at any cost. The coming recession is not some inexorable force of nature; it is a consequence of the policies being pursued by Merkozy, Monti, Barroso and the rest. – The Telegraph

EU follows US into stealing from future generations
“the EU’s bailout-and-borrow policy had taken on a momentum of its own, like a runaway train. That train is now going at maximum speed, and has passed the point where a switch can still be thrown. The only question is when it hits the buffers. My guess is that we are months away.” – MEP Daniel Hannan in The Telegraph. Much the same can be said of the US debt problem.

EU climate insanity
MEP Hannan says “doom is almost upon us and here we are solemnly talking about these proposals massively to increase our debt and deficit and to pour more money into this climate project. It would be disastrous if we actually meant it.” In the midst of economic collapse there are still fools pushing the climate agenda as a way to increase control over all industry and commerce.
