Austerity:
1.severity or plainness: severity of discipline, regime, expression, or design
2.economy measure: a saving, economy, or act of self-denial, especially in respect of something regarded as a luxury
3.enforced thrift: thrift imposed as government policy, with restricted access to or availability of consumer goods
Obama and the idiot who wrote that sh----screed should read the meaning, it's obvious neither knows what Austerity means.

As I said this morning...damn you people are stupid...but I guess that is what you get with a lack of education and following others, like the author who also have no education on the subject matter.
No sense explaining it...the lot of you won't get it.
The same bunch that commented on this article...applauding the author's pathetic attempt to understand the budget and equally pathetic attempt to compare different time frames and economy...this same group were posting last summer about the horrors of sequestration...

Well there you go. You are one of the few intellectuals on this forum that have always had great unbiased opinions. And, you are a gentleman, and never have bad things to say about anyone. I guess, TJ just got her comeuppance, and it has been a long time coming. Maybe, she will post links, explain herself, or at least stop her hard drive by postings. Thanks, Sam!

I wouldn't say that, but I try not to do it on a forum intended for discussion and debate. After years of formal debate, I've always been strongly of the opinion that if you insult your opponent, you've lost.
It's not my intent to deliver a comeuppance; I'd just like to hear her argument. I don't care for her insults, but sometimes she gives a reason. This time she didn't, and I don't know that she has any.
Without the anecdotal references - I really wouldn't characterize ANY aspect of spending under Obama as austere except possibly the sequester - which ironically was enacted because they couldn't AGREE on cuts.

Now, that is interesting; wanting to hear her/his reasons.
Why? I've yet to read anything that indicates TJ has ANY interest in a debate or a even a conversation about ANY issue and simply has a desire to call everyone dumb and move on. Far from losing a debate and then resorting to insults, she/he starts the debate with an insult and...walks out.
TJ is not reflexively pro or anti Obama and I can't really discern an innate political leaning. The one constant is that everyone is a moron.
So, what is interesting about hearing what someone like that has to say? That is ALL they have to say; everyone else is a dummy. I suppose TJ could be interesting is he/she wanted to but, I consistently see no interest in that with ANYONE on here.
:shrug:
then why do you bother posting at all ..... satisfying some anally superior attitude .. swinging your EPenis around the internet
I don't know about Obama, but TJ def has poor opinions of Fox, The Blaze .. Glenn Beck, Zero Hedge .... if I had to guess TJ probably <3 Krugman ....
the most glaring item is constantly repeating that we don't know how the debt ceiling REALLY Works ...
and that not only Keynes was correct about spending [based on comments about borrowing even MORE Money] ... but we should be following this other bloke as well

I listen to you, even when I think you're stone cold crazy. The difference of course being that you don't insult, you do explain and I know you.
Not always, which MAY be because she's really a sock puppet for someone else here. I've known people who do that - they don't want to jeopardize their normal identity, so they create one that just ventilates. Nevertheless, on rare occasion she's given weak but coherent arguments for things.
I was expecting to hear the fact that the items were cherry-picked - that as a measure of the GDP, the overall budget is improved; the very REAL fact that a lot of the budget deficit has been revenue shortfall and while high, has lowered each year; and so on. In no way does it support the idea that we've had five years of AUSTERITY - especially when we've been printing 75 billion dollars a month and spent almost a trillion in stimulus dollars over the first few years.
If anything, he's continued exactly in the shoes of his predecessors, just spending in different places.

I agree with most of the posters here, TJ just hits and runs. I'd like to see at least once where TJ makes an argument for his/her opinion. But, like most university professors, says, "I KNOW THE TRUTH"!! Sorry baby, I ain't buying it. Lived life for much too long, and my knowledge isn't just from book-learnin'.

That's cute.

No, after having the pleasure of reading your previous attempts a logic and debate, finding no small amount of amusement in doing so, I can only come to a single conclusion. The conclusion being that the real reason you won't attempt to explain it, is because you don't have the brain-power to understand it yourself. Let alone express is in a manner more sophisticated than the rudimentary grunts of a cro-magnon man having an unexpected and explosive bowel movement.
I suspect that you know this, and in an attempt to hide this fact, or at the very least distract the casual readers away from it, you adopt this transparently pathetic condescending attitude.
It's called "projection".
It's both cute and sad.
Like a puppy with a head-cone, scooting around one of those wheel carts after being hit by a dumptruck.
That's my guess too. She never responds to any response to her drive-by posts. Craps and runs.
You know, there's something to be said for that - just cut to the chase, save everyone some time.
