The French election's lesson as it relates to over here is that when you hear Republican politicians/candidates going off on how they are going to make dramatic cuts in the size of government and the amount of government spending,
and voila! balance the budget!
they are feeding you a big plate of horseshit.
Austerity is a job killer, and job killers are vote killers, and vote killers are politician killers,
and no sane politician wants to commit political suicide.
So not spending more than you can finance and thereby avoiding bankruptcy is called "austerity" now?
Is it just me? Or are we ready to cue twilight zone music here?
Austerity: New definition. Not spending money you don't have.
Yes please! I like the twilight zone music.
