You seem to forget that there are real people whose livelihoods, why, whose lives, are being ground to a bloody pulp because of "anti-growth" policies currently being imposed by the EU.

If what it takes for people to be able to not starve is nominal GDP growth and some inflation, fuck, why isn't it happening? Why do we have pro-growth policies only when it benefits the oligarchy?

Because sure as hell being "anti-growth" doesn't appear to be a political negative these days.
