Europe's austerity measure proved that.
Their spending cuts actually deepened their recession.
Europe has different issues and is worse off than US. Dem's make forever increased spending and higher taxes a POLICY not an solution to a recession.
No, they don't.
Increased taxes are just a fact of life with an aging population.
As far as Europe goes, their spending cuts actually deepened their recession.
That's a fact.
Interestingly enough, nations with more socialistic economies like Finland, Norway and Denmark are in good shape.
Chew on that.
