After the formation of the coalition government in 2010 Osborne became Chancellor of the Exchequer, having the oversight of fiscal and monetary policy of the UK. Conservatives in the UK and in the United States have praised Osborne's fiscal conservatism as spending cuts are continuing to this day to reduce the large amounts of debt and massive deficit of the UK government. To this date over a quarter of the 150 billion plus deficit has been eradicated.
Whilst spending reductions in the UK are unpopular, Osborne's economic policy has seen economic growth return to the UK and inflation remain low and stable, since the economic crash of 2008.
