This problem should be fixed on a constitutional level. The Swiss Debt brake seems to be working, and is probably a good model to copy. https://www.efd.admin.ch

  >> 85% of voters approved the constitutional provision on the debt brake in 2001 Impossible to imagine this in any other country. Compare to voting where 50% of Brits voted to destroy their economy.

    That's nonsense. I think brexit was a terrible idea but people didn't vote to destroy the economy, and the British economy is still there. Losing 4% productivity relative to where it'd be otherwise is bad for sure, but not destroyed.

      It takes decades to destroy economy. Even Brexit or Trump or putin cannot destroy it overnight.
