Reply #2: Nah. You can't look at the austerity drive and not see addicts looking to rationalize

Seriously Frenchie--was stimulus right or wrong? Because right now we're all about anti-stimulus, austerity, deficit obsession, entitlement reform. Is it that we wasted everyone's time and money two years ago, or are we too fucked up to admit we were right then, and stimulus would still be right now?

This is a caper, some short-term foolishness for exactly no one's lasting benefit. Something to point to in the next few months as a success for civic responsibility and blame someone else for next year.
