You must have lived a horribly isolated life if those are the only groups you've ever seen this behavior from. Take a look at the EU and austerity measures if you want to see this kind of behavior on a large scale.

I've yet to see an austerity measure that strips away even the most basic protections the way US does.

The US: 40 million people one month away from eviction. 30 million people are one medical emergency away from life-time of crippling debt.

Americans: oh, look at austerity measures in Europe.
