In a speech to the European Parliament, British Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan confronts Prime Minister Gordon Brown:
In the last 12 months a 100,000 private sector jobs have been lost and yet you’ve created 30000 public sector jobs. pm, you cannot carry on forever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit. You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.
Hannan is furious with Britain’s response to the financial downturn, decrying the borrowing, spending, currency devaluation, and increased Socialization of the economy as destructive. It turns out that everything Britain is doing wrong is being done in the U.S.

Coming after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s call for a “global New Deal”, Rep. Ron Paul warns Americans that “nations will be redefined” amidst central government solutions to the current economic calamnity:
There will be a realignment. There’s a struggle with those of us who believe we should have national sovereignty. Others are planning to go one step further. Now they want to control capital, they want to control the natural resources of the world. They believe in world government.
Glenn Beck says: “They don’t give a flying crap about the Constitution.”
