The way the E.U. stimulated their economy was from the ground up. In Germany they gave people money to do two things: buy GERMAN MADE CARS and gave money to employers to pay for part of their employee’s work hours since spending money on domestic products boots any economy. So by giving money to the people and not corporations they managed to help themselves out of their recessions by keeping the money within Germany.
But done in the U.S. it does not work so well. Because our auto industry imports parts from all over the world now thanks to Clinton’s GAAT and NAFTA agreements money that should be helping us out is going to China and any other 3rd world holes that make these parts on the cheap. Plus instead of giving the money to people to save the housing industry we gave it to the lenders who are out buying up their competitors making those balance sheets nice and fat instead of using that money to help out their debters.
In the UK similar top down economics is at work out there as well.
So to say that the E.U. is going to the American right wing mantra is totally misleading. The right over there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too different from the right here. For instance no right winger in the E.U. would never mess with their single payer system.
Yet here being healthy is a privilege, not a right.
