The part where we haven't done a damn thing toward austerity. There's plenty of fake austerity, but that means absolutely nothing. It's just a buzzword to scare the populace into allowing the right to shove its business-as-usual redistribution of wealth down our throats. Austerity only comes up when something like mass transit or other economically sustainable solutions are brought up. Meanwhile they've done nothing to curb spending to their special interest groups. As a result it is utterly ludicrous to voluntarily give up on the creation of economically viable mass transit systems when every other special interest in this country still has the syringe full of government money, the needle in its arm and is praying for an uncollapsed vein.And of course expanding mass transportation is the sort of undertaking which will both help to employ people to get us out of this depression and will help to insulate our economy against the influence of oil prices. As a result the expansion of mass transit should easily trump your and the Republicans' shortsighted, small minded concerns over the budget deficits they are responsible for. |
