You look at one country like France that did reduce spending

For one year, by a really tiny amount, much smaller then the increases every other year. Spenind went up strongly over the whole time period in question.

Even moving to debt as a percentage of GDP (as in your chart) rather then spending. In all the countries you list except Greece, the debt went up pretty steadily, and in Greece it also went up during the time period you list.

Increasing spending and debt isn't austerity.
