Austerity imposed by the EU was detested and I detest the EU and believe in the sovereignty of nations.
Of course Leftist policies aren’t good, but neither are the New World Order austerity policies of Republicans and Democrats in this country and their sister parties in Europe.
I want an authentic conservative policy of balancing budgets and keeping taxes low. No Mickey Mouse trimming of spending and raising taxes at the same time ala austerity.
When the money you're overspending comes from those other nations, and you can't print your own, you have to give up some sovereignty.
