Austerity Has Never Worked!

John R. Liming

My Opinion

I think pretty much everybody who understands anything at all about Economics has concluded a long time ago that Austerity is useless for fixing Economic Problems.

However, there is a sneaking, gnawing feeling at the back of my mind that suggests to me that a whole lot of  Republicans may not necessarily believe what I just said.

It looks to me like the intransigents and obstructionists on The Far Right must believe that the more money can be cut out of the budget, the better off Americans will be.

This might have some truth in it if it didn’t mean sacrificing so many services that mean so much to the welfare – - – and sometimes perhaps even the existence – - -of so many people who really do not have the means to provide all their needs for themselves sometimes.

It appears that the budget whackers might be on an entirely wrong and disastrous track with their Austerity Measures.

Here is a link to an article that goes into this in some detail for those who might be interested:

    John Liming - The Liming Liberal Democrat

    An American Man, born in 1938 and a Veteran of The U.S. Military. I served honorably in The United States Army (National Guard) and The United States Air Force for a total of seven years and three months active duty during what is now known as The Vietnam Era. My passion is political observation and commentary. My intention is to discuss and debate the extreme conservative ideology that is hurting The People of this Great Country. I will examine the reasons why our beloved America has become so politically divided over the past few years and provide illuminating insight into why I believe this is exactly the agenda of The "Christian" Conservative Right. Written in my own words of course, and strictly my opinion...
