&gt;Well, I am not a big fan of today&#x27;s &quot;more debt, more gov&#x27;t spending = more prosperity&quot;<p>Because austerity is working out just brilliantly everywhere it&#x27;s been tried?<p>What people tend to forget about government deficits and debt is that it is just one side of the economic coin. It&#x27;s exactly the same thing as saying &quot;the private sector saves too much&quot;.
