Your original comment used increasing debt as a direct example of austerity not working (specifically "With austerity our debt has gone up far more then when the wasn't austerity"). Given there were no qualifiers I felt 'linear' was an appropriate choice of wording. I understanding there are other factors (i mentioned one), but linear doesn't mean only. You implied that increasing debt is an example of proof that austerity doesn't work, and i was pointing out that we can't really draw a firm line between them. Do you disagree?

No the original post was replying to someone who brought up austerity as a means to improve the debt situation it seems like you just read one line with out looking at the whole post and what it was a response to as in my post I highlighted how Austerity didn't work when the are other factors like tax cuts for big businesses.

I'd read the entire chain (i didn't start at your comment, i ended up there). My comment applies as much to bonzo, you just happened to be at the end. So to clarify: You don't believe the UK's debt increasing is proof austerity doesn't work?
