”We have been living on borrowed time. We used to think you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candor that that option no longer exists.”
- James Callaghan Prime Minister of Great Britain (Labor) in 1976 addressing the collapse of the British Pound resulting from massive deficit spending in an effort to stimulate the British economy.
