You give yourself wayyy too much credit. You are a clown mnot... the best you can ever hope for is a derail, and you need help doing that.

I'm pretty sure this was exactly what was predicted would happen if we gave the cons their way and instituted austerity measures. Seems Keynes was right all along but the left knew this and the right will refuse to see it even with the evidence right in their face.

ORLY. Exactly what austerity messages have been implemented?

Refusing to see evidence in front of your face seems to be your problem. Have you seen the stock market and unemployment since Obama introduced his jobs bill, which is nothing more than doubling down on his failed Keynesian policies?

Not getting rid of the DOE SWAT team or doing away with the bunny inspectors, that is for sure.

Status: offline 		Austerity measures:  Reducing money to states so that they can do things like pay teachers, pay fire fighters and police officers.  Talking about reducing medicaid, Medicare and social security (hint:  the people on those programs are already dirt poor).  Arguing for even more tax cuts for the rich.  A few days ago somebody posted a list of the top marginal tax rates 1913-present and any body who is honest will admit there were better economic times during periods of the highest top marginal tax rate.  And it is only the highest marginal rate we want most of us want to see raised--I doubt anybody on this board is a multimillionaire.

1. The question was about austerity measures that have happened, not talked about. The only one actually taken is OBAMAs medicare cuts.
2. If you think you have to be a "multi-millionaire" to pay the top marginal tax rate you might want to stop listening to Obama's demonization of the rich for about 30 seconds and actually read a tax table.

Drastic budget cuts at the state level due to no federal stimulus primarily but also budget cuts at the federal level due to the compromise budget and the debt ceiling hostage taking.

Exactly the tax table will charge anyone's income minus deductions and exemptions. Thats why we the rich people prefer to make money via capital gains which is only at 15%.
