Try imagining a way in which there is some truth to his statement. IE. some people will go hungry due to British austerity. Perhaps figuratively, perhaps literally. |

Wait... the U.S. has implemented austerity measures? When was that? Joe Biden says Buy a Shotgun! Wackiness ensues! [youtu.be]

Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, and Iceland have failed austerity measures leading some state governments to completely default. PIIGGS is the acronym for a failing Europe. |

We have austerity too. It started off slow, through GOP anti-patriotic obstructionism in Congress. Then it ramped up after 2010, when anti-American Republicans took many statehouses and took all steps short of deploying troops to make war on the American people. God help us all if the worst among us, the Republicans, take full control of Congress or even the White House. |

Austerity will never work in a debt based monetary system. Austerity will always cause deflation. Nearly all money is created as debt, therefore when you pay down debts you remove money from the system. The only way to "grow" this type of economy is to go further into debt.
The solution is to revamp the entire monetary system, short of that we (and any other similarly structured economy) will have to go deeper and deeper into debt forever, until we can't anymore. We're close to the can't anymore phase if not in the beginning of it. |
