re: "Proof that 'austerity' doesn't work when you're in a recession."
You misunderstand AGAIN, clo - as, it seems, do the others who starred your post.
Did you see where my article spoke of a DOUBLE DIP recession? That means that Britain was OUT of recession and has now gone back in.
If Britain has been practicing austerity, the fact that it has now gone into recession does NOT prove anything about what works "when you're in a recession."
Got that?
How is it that no one else on this forum caught that? Is everyone here completely devoid of critical thinking skills?
