Yep, you Geniuses, the austerity models in Greece, Spain and other places are really working well! I guess Obama secretly used the stimulus here and forced Europe to use austerity measures! You look silly arguing both sides of the issue!
You are MORONS! You can fight a recession two ways - one is to inflate your way out of it and two is to deflate your way out of it! I just hope the people trying to bring on another 1929 crash and depression by deflating the economy with cuts are kept from getting their Teapublican hands on the steering wheel that is driving this nation!

real stimulus measures, not payoffs to favored constituencies that made up the squandered "stimulus package" of 2009, which was a net negative for the economy. Besides, the "austerity" in Britain and a few other countries centers around
tax increases, not spending cuts.
Go learn something before popping off again, you stupid S.O.B. For starters, you'd do well to re-read that thread you initiated a little over a year ago. I linked to it earlier for your convenience.
