A Rose Is A Rose...

SOTU {{facepalm}} « The Confluence
...Update: So, apparently the new meme is “Down with Austerity! Up with a balanced approach of spending cuts and tax increases!” A “balanced approach of spending cuts and tax increases” is still AUSTERITY. I’m sorry, no matter how you slice it, when you cut spending in the midst of a depression, which is what we are in right now, the consequence is going to be AUSTERITY and a return to more recession. Can we cut the crap already, Barry? You need to spend money, the money you can get for ridiculously low interest rates, and put people back to work. Anything else is AUSTERITY...
