NYT Editorial: How Austerity Kills---Fiscal policy, it turns out, can be a matter of life or death…

3. End of Life Without Dignity

is what those we Elected to Congress to Represent Us choose For us through Austerity measures.
They have manufactured this economic problem.
Austerity IS the pathway to Privatizing All of "it"--for profit.

Which of the 535 Sens/Reps in Congress have come out in Support of Herndons Rebuttal to Rogoff/Reinhart's Austerity Budget???? Anybody?
Specifically, those in Leadership?
Reid could have fixed the Filibuster.
Pelosi didn't have to come out in Support of CPI
Many More Etc's.

Not ONE Dem Sen or GOP either, for that matter---Objected to the Unanimous Consent/Vote allowing for the "gutting" of the STOCK Act and the Resoration of Sequester Funding to the FAA-to stand up FOR those losing Cancer Treatments, Meals on Wheels and Head Start which in far too many cases gives a hungry child their best/only food for the day. But Both Houses And Parties Did Prove Bi-Partisanship IS Not DOA when it "serves to serve them and Their Ilk".

No one wants to talk about This very Real and very Final Irreversible Consequence of Their Fkg Votes.
When we ask: What's Wrong with them? Call them Stupid etc? They're NOT. None of this is an "accident through stupidity". It's Intentional Raw Greed-and "they" All need to be called out, in Public. Ask them the hard questions, Hold them accountable, demand honest and fruitful answers.
Rep Schakowsky came closest to "owning it" the day FAA Funding was restored when she admitted on MSM that Yes, sometimes Congress does vote for their Own Personal Self Interest. But Once does not make it sweet, nor does it fully explain their votes over the last couple decades which have led us "here".
