According to this article the European recovery is working due to conservative fiscal policy that includes a halt to spending.

Spike,
Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines,
last Friday.
Liberals like Loebsack, Harkin, and Barney Frank spent billions easier than we do dimes. After all, they are not spending their money. They are spending our money.
When liberals spend their own money, what a difference. Barney Frank pitched a bitch because he was properly denied a $1.00 discount. Barney Frank should have contacted his U. S. Senator about this outrage.
Rhode Island is closer to Fire Island than Taxachusetts. John Kerry could have sailed on down on his yacht and given Barney a ride.
