New York Times: Economists See Deficit Emphasis as Impeding Recovery.

Ha ha YA THINK?

If only there had been people who had the foresight to warn for years that the bullshit emphasis on deficit reduction in the middle of an economic crisis would be a garbage disaster!

I mean, people who aren't dirty hippies, obviously. OH WELL. Let's keep listening to the same geniuses who predicted the Iraq War would last six months and trickle-down economics would make everyone rich and deregulation would make us all safer and the earth is totes flat, because I'm sure they'll be right SOMEDAY, and we wouldn't want to miss it!
