EU budget for growth – of the state, that is.

Daniel Hannan has released a pair of videos of an interview of himself and “the spin doctor for the Budget Commissioner.” This clip is a classic example of how impossibility difficult it is for a dedicated bureaucrat to debate a man who has freed his mind from the clutches of the state.

The EU is spinning its budget as ‘for growth’ much the same as most governments do. One rule to bear in mind though, is that any budget, which increases revenue along with a claim of being ‘pro growth’, is designed only to grow the organization itself.
