A deputy from the Communist Party, Giorgos Mavrikos, threw his copy of the austerity bill at Evangelos Venizelos, the finance minister, during the debate on Sunday.

I know I read a lot of Krugman, but seriously? How is a slowdown in government spending supposed to revitalize the economy? We’ve given markets a chance for a long time and it HASN’T WORKED. We gave bankers as close to free-market power as they’ll ever get without dismantling the government and THEY DID NOTHING BUT FUCK PEOPLE. How does anyone continue to believe that gov’t spending is the problem?
