I get so annoyed that half of keynesian stuff gets talked about and done but not so much the other. Lower taxes and spending but when it comes to raise taxes and have a rainy gove rainy day fund you get crickets.

Where does this come from? Can you may be add some sources (Wikipedia articles, etc.) to this?

Also economic policy is a broad field which cannot easily be compared. In the European Unions most countries adhere to the social market economy and it has been working out much better than in the USA for the population. Please don‘t confuse the two.
