Were you paying attention to greece and Spain before austerity? To blame austerity is like blaming chemotherapy for making cancer patients sick. |
The problem with austerity is that what is politically safe to cut is cut first, not 'waste' or 'nice-to-haves'. For example, in my country this year they cut interview travel reimbursement for jobseekers, and crippled the budget for legal aid, but they continue to pursue a $50 billion single rail line, and construction of two aircraft carriers for which there are no suitable planes.
True austerity has never been seen.
