Ah listening to an Economist on the thom Hartman show
and the effects on this austerity bill on jobs... short summary... hooverism is back.

:hi:

I know that people are really not getting this yet, but this pile of shit could crash the economy... in a horrific manner.

I truly hope people enjoy this historic lesson, anew.

5. economists
I like the doublethink that is occurring in Washington right now. Somehow austerity is going to create more jobs, even though it won't.

6. And that was his point
you will not find an honest economist that will tell you austerity is good.
