When has austerity ever worked?
It's working exactly as it is designed to. Funneling money from the poor to the rich.
Austerity is never advised in a situation where ANYTHING is going to work. It's the equivalent of trying to tighten your budget when you lose your job. It could possibly help a little but it's not going to fix it.
It has worked pretty good at increasing the power of the wealthy.
