NYTIMES: In American politics, being European is bad again. But these days, President Obama and the Democrats, not the Republicans, are holding up their allies across the Atlantic as the poster children for bad policies.
Former President Bill Clinton this week accused Congressional Republicans of embracing policies of “austerity and unemployment” that have caused protests throughout the euro zone.
In a new line of attack, top Democrats are arguing that Mitt Romney and the Republicans, with their focus on spending cuts, are following Europe’s austerity-first example, to dismal effect so far: Greece over the edge; Italy, Spain, Portugal on the edge; Britain in recession; and the United States suffering through a needlessly weak recovery because of government cuts.
Former President Bill Clinton offered the clearest version of the case on Monday night, when, introducing Mr. Obama at a fund-raiser in New York, he listed the steps that Mr. Obama had taken to spur the economy, and then asked: “Why aren’t things roaring along now? Because Europe is in trouble and because the Republican Congress has adopted the European economic policy.”"CLEAREST VERSION"?!?!?! WTF?
THIS IS FACTUALLY WRONG AND FREAKIN' INSANE.
THE DEFICITS AND SOVEREIGN DEBT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF EUROPE'S WOES AND MORE DEFICIT SPENDING WON'T CURE EUROPE; IT WILL KILL EUROPE.
GERMANY PROVES IT . ESTONIA PROVES IT. WISCONSIN PROVES IT. OHIO AND INDIANA PROVE IT.
WHAT EUROPE AND THE USA MUST DO IS CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING, CUT TAXES AND CUT ALL CO2PHOBIC REGULATIONS AND OPEN UP ENERGY EXPLORATION EVERYWHERE.
LOWERING REGULATIONS, TAXES AND THE COST OF ENERGY WILL IMMEDIATELY LEAD TO GROWTH.
EUROPE DID NOT HAVE BUSH TAX CUTS OR "UNFUNDED WARS" OR "RUNAWAY DEFENSE SPENDING" EITHER; IT'S THE SOCIALISTIC SPENDING THAT'S KILLING EUROPE.
LEFT-WING SOCIALISTIC SPENDING AND LEFT-WING GLOBAL WARMING POLICIES MUST BE TERMINATED IF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS GOING TO AVOID TOTAL GLOBAL DEPRESSION AND GROWTH RESTORED.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.
