Austerity (And Chutzpah)


As teabaggRs insist we need to stop all stimulus and adopt an austerity approach, it's worth being reminded what happened in the UK after they adopted that plan about a year or so ago.

Res, as they say, ipsa loquitur.

Along those lines, in a moment of hilarity if it weren't so mind-blowing, a new fundraising mailing, from the mother of all austerity in the form of cutting benefits to the needy, Paul Ryan, contains this memorable line: “the net for the poor is coming apart at the seams and no one in Washington seems to care.”

How do you deal with people who can be this disingenuous, that unapologetically deceitful and duplicitous? So absolutely unaware. So sure -- with good reason -- that their electorate will neither notice nor care.
