Austerity Megaflop: 0.3% GDP growth for UK proves stimulus was the right policy

If they'd put the money into Infrastructure, science and technology=success. Giving it to wall street, banks or idiocy is just dumb!

Yep. They want tax cuts for corporations and the very wealthy, yet they don't care that bridges and roads are falling apart.

Wonder what the consensus would have been if either McConnell or Boehner had family that would have died when the bridge that connected both their districts failed and killed 38 people?

I'm betting that if either, or both of them, had family that died because of that bridge collapse, they would have voted in favor of fixing the infrastructure.

BTW.......................did you know that fixing roads and bridges are a good source of jobs for Americans (who live in this country) right now?

American capitalism has made us the #1 economy on the planet and dragged over 1 billion people out of Progressive economic failure.

It's time we get back to what works

is that the same as "war corporatism": using taxpayer $$$ in the Pentagon as a piggy bank for contractors who then take that taxpayer $$$ & donate it to favorable politicians? THAT Merkin capitalism? war is good for business. Ask the Carlyle Group

Are you off your meds?

Yanno......................the countries in the EU that had decided to go with austerity have come up with a lot of economic problems.

Greece, for one, comes to mind. They almost lost their standing in the EU.

Maybe they should actually try it instead of saying they are going to.

When you cut spending & cut taxes the economy grows.

Living within your means is good. At least to every sane person knows alittle about finances.

They generally increased taxes and talked about cutting spending. Of course that doesn't work. But since Dems are rather stupid they cannot distinguish between two things calling themselves by the same name, even though they are not even close.
