* Republicans : No change. Austerity serves their masters.
* TeaBaggers : They will further entrench as 1)Austerity serves their masters. 2)The rejection insulted their masters.
* Democrats : They will say 'oh how nice' but not do much about it.
* Paul Krugman : He will get all ticked off and rightfully point out that austerity won't work. Unfortunately as usual he will be ignored.
