"Choice between job-killing default and job-killing austerity."Austerity? I don't think that word means what Jackson think it means.
Over 10 years this country will spend $8 trillion more than it takes in. Without the deal we would have spent $10 trillion. That's austerity?
Somebody buy him a dictionary.
As Iowahawk reminds us, the cuts in this bill are roughly equal to cutting 1/10th of a french fry from a Happy Meal. Some austerity.
