Harris/Shapiro…….has a certain gravitas to it….

Deutsche Welle (DW) is a German state-owned international news channel which produces some outstanding documentaries.
I am well through this 80 minute production, released just over a week ago, it chronicles another frightening layer of American politics. The stormtroopers for Trump and it's no surprise that it has it's roots deep in American history.
These people live in a different world, and we've discovered in recent years that we have our own fair share of people are living in a completely different world. They have created their own false reality. And the CoC wants to ease gun restrictions.
America’s right-wing radicals – US veterans against democracy | DW Documentary
I'm a big DW fan and will look this up. Ta..
Anyone follow UK politics? – astonishing to hear new Labour UK Finance Minister sounding almost identical to our right wing NZ government.
Unfunded spending commitments, hidden budget overspends, inherited financial disaster etc all blamed on the previous government.
And what is the remedy? – can you guess? Freezing or abandoning significant infrastructure projects including hospital upgrades, spending cuts across departments and, of course, the old chestnut – getting the unemployed back to work.
It's sounds so much like the current NZ government as to almost be the same script – that just seems odd. WTF is going on? What happened to Keynesian economics? Why do governments pretend they are beholden to the bond market in order enact austerity that isn't necessary?
