Melenchon just said "no new expenses without new revenues". Now, I get this is just rethoric, but it's already more fiscally responsible than pretty much all Italian politicians lol

@badluck5647 I'd say she was more irresponsible because she did that whilst in power. On the contrary, the left can propose whatever idiocy they want because they knew they wouldn't be governing, at least not alone

@fuerstmetternich1997 Not saying his economic plan is a good idea, I'm saying that he at least understand you can't just print more money or borrow indefinitely and you need to have the resources to pay for everything you wanna do. That's not the case among italian

Sometimes you need austerity, sometimes more spending. Problem is France has only been spending without control for decades. Can't remember the last balanced budget they had

Because people don't see government resources, and therefore debt too, as their own but rather someone else's money being spent, unlike what they do with their own family finances

They don't seem to get that more and more debt also means each the government will spend a growing chunk of its budget just for the interests which means less money to fund their welfare
