"Pitch the argument that we need even more austerity so our economy can grow even faster." Easy peasy! It's just like cutting taxes raises revenue! Magical thinking ROCKS!

>>. Sequestration is the equivalent of austerity measures. The difference is that Britain and the rest started earlier. And we are following a similar trajectory. Whatever trajectory we are following, everyone should keep in mind that Obama got what he wanted. He got what he and his team of crack economists said it would take to keep unemployment down and to restore economic growth. In addition he got massive tax increases (which, as you'll recall, many of us warned about) and a huge new train wreck health care fiasco which we told you up front would kill the economy. So quit trying to blame the mss on a tiny cut in the rate of growth of spending. Everyone who know anything it has nothing to do with it.

CJ, And we are following a similar trajectory. I see you have already prepared the excuse if this "Obama recovery" fails to sustain itself. Tenchusatsu
