That Murray-Ryan “bipartisan” budget deal the other week was right out of European style ‘austerity measures’.
The major political parties team up to raise taxes and cut spending simultaneously.
The members who voted NO on it in the House were the left-wing ones and the principled conservative ones.
Third parties have risen up in Europe like Italy and Greece but all that did was to formalize the major parties of the “right” and “left” forming national governments to shove the “austerity” down everyone’s throat.
We are heading for very interesting times ahead.
