AUSTERITY -STOP!!! This is not the time for cutting back -- it is the time to create new jobs and spend to do it STOP!! No Simpson/Bowles and No Grand Bargain.
Why is this important?
Austerity measures being pushed by Republicans and many Democrats in Congress are designed to kill jobs and punish the poor and middle class who have already been the ones to suffer under this recession. Austerity measures taken in Europe are proving that their economies are declining instead of thriving -- we should learn from them. Growing economies means growing jobs which means job creation bills.
