<p>Austerity</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Brainstorm}}<br /> <br /> Viewed superficially, &#039;&#039;&#039;Austerity&#039;&#039;&#039; might seem to be precisely what we want: a massive reduction in government spending.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, it&#039;s fairly uniformly executed by a statist mindset. Taxes remain high or increase. Regulations remain high or increase. The results are not what anyone who cares about freedom would hope for.<br /> <br /> So what would we recommend doing instead? That might be the easy question to answer here.<br /> <br /> Harder question: what do we call this program in the context of a government that can&#039;t pay its bills and isn&#039;t allowed to default by creditors who can summon military responses if necessary ho get their way?<br /> <br /> Perhaps harder still: what is our polity paper to persuade people in a government trying to get out of this kind of mess?</div>
