A liberal recently told me that the austerity measures are not working in Europe, as if that was an argument against conservatism.
First, one must realize that austerity was not a choice. There is literally no money left in these nations. They have no choice but to cut these programs. Second, they are also raising taxes, which hinders any growth in the private sector. Third, European nations have allowed themselves to go so far past the point of insanity that it may be possible that they won't begin to improve until their financial systems totally collapse.
That said, Poland now adds itself to the list of nations in crisis. . .
