''Austerity is a political ideology masquerading as an economic policy. It rests on a myth, impervious to facts, that portrays all government spending as wasteful and harmful, and unnecessary to the recovery. The real world is a lot more complicated.''
This little quote is taken from an editorial in the New York Times of Saturday 15 October. It illustrates what I and many people around the world think of the salad we are being served by politicians in general to explain what they themselves do not understand but are too proud to admit.
So next time you hear some hack politician about the austerity thing, cutting taxes and giving you everything for free, just think of this quote.
