As a country we can only spend what we earn.

My late father's view was similar. In 1940 as a child he witnessed the blitz in Southampton. In 1946 as a teenager he visited Hamburg "Not one brick sat upon another".

- the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court
- the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse
