Austerity is Awesome

Looking at the front page of the BBC News website last night and noticed that the two business headlines on their front page both testify to the awesomeness that is austerity.

Spanish unemployment hits record

US economic growth rate slowing

How much do you want to bet that our Benevolent Rulers will double down (yet again) for more of the same? Another few decades of record big business profits and they’ll reward us all with free toasters or something. I think that’s the plan. Except for the toasters.

    Dems need to sieze on this and connect the dots for people. The average american voter will not, and have been brainwashed that national debt is the biggest economic problem.

      It’s one of my biggest regrets about President Obama (and the rest of the Dems) that the haven’t been making the case for investing in the country. Of course, if the Republicans get back into full power it’ll become clear again that they don’t care about the debt, just about fewer taxes for the rich and the corporate.
