Austerity To Death

Austerity measures have lead to worldwide massive protests and worsening debt.

In Europe, we have:

http://edition.cnn.com/...

and now today:

http://www.usatoday.com/...

Meanwhile, here in the US there are those on both the left and right that believe austerity is a solution:

http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/...

This is not only a debate between the left and the right; it is also a debate that pits the two wings of the Democratic party against each other, the center against the left. At one end of the intraparty spectrum lie those Democrats who consider debt reduction a matter of key importance; at the other end are those who consider a focus on the debt ill-advised, a result of faulty analysis.

Well, I guess you can figure out which side of that one I fall on : )

How many governments have to fall before we decide that austerity isn't a solution, it only adds fuel to a raging fire? How many lives will we make worse before we change tactics?

Who are these "center left" Democrats who believe austerity will work? We need to start shaming them immediately.

I've always known I had liberal tendencies. When comparing myself to people on the right, I am certainly diametrically opposed. What I learned recently though is what socialism actually means. I had never really thought much about it before, mostly just identified myself as "liberal". Growing up in a very white north-shore suburb of Chicago, "socialist" was a dirty word like "communist" (gotta love those 80s), "fascist" and "nazi". As a kid in that environment, it was easy for me to misunderstand what all these things mean and to lump them together in my mind as "bad guys". People on the right or just ignorant or apathetic people still conflate these things as adults. [continued below Mr. Squiggles]

So a lot of folks have been hinting or saying outright that the GOP candidates are each having their 15 minutes in turn. So I decided to check.

Pat Robertson has insulted Christians everywhere with his Washington Monument idiocy. He didn't even bother with biblical quotes to support this nonsense. Here's why.
