European Fiscal Rules for a New Era
Europeans’ vulnerability to the skyrocketing cost of living cannot be separated from EU rules restricting government investment in public goods. As living standards stagnate while debt levels continue to grow, a new approach to government spending is needed. A key battleground ahead of the European elections, the EU’s fiscal rules should prioritise wellbeing, education, and a green future over deficits and debt levels.
Don't Make More Affordable Housing

From a Vietnam veteran on Veterans Day: ‘My longest journey and my finest hour’
I was drafted into the Army in the l960s out of Grand Junction. The draft notices were often intemperate, even though they did begin with the cliche, "Greetings."

In order to evade another economic earthquake similar to or even bigger than the Greek crisis and to reinstate the trust in the Euro, the European Central Bank (ECB) took extraordinary measures to boost growth, raise inflation and indirectly lower the indebtedness of the Eurozone Member States: they started the Quantitative Easing (QE) programme.
