 That conservatism is on the rise in Europe and probably should have run, except for some of the complexities of parliamentary elections. But anyway, so these lefties who are promising more social programs and taxes and soaking the rich and blah, blah, blah, they are up to their eyeballs in debt. They have an impossible job. They are going to just crash onto the rocks. Well, the Republicans, if they get hold of the reins of power, which looks increasingly likely, we've got ginormous national debt.
