The federal government's austerity policy, compromises with the Republicans over social security, medicare, Obamacare, etc.
The state and local governments' austerity policies (summary of a major new report on state and local cutbacks)
How and why changes in federal, state and local taxes could remove the need for austerity and achieve tax justice.
