3. Nah, Austerity was practically the President's

Running mate.

Although the usual sleight of hand and the usual mantra will apply - "I would love to do be the President of Middle Incomed AmerCa, but them meanie Republicans will not let me."

The Blue Dawgism of the Democratic party means that Austerity is at hand.

I mean, for instance, the only viable candidate for the House, in my neck of the woods, was one Mike Thompson, a "proud" Blue Dog Dem, who came out again and again against Social Security (Though he cleaned up his song lyrics for the last month or so.)
