Pro-Tip: There was really never any real austerity being done.
I gotta love your use of "apparent" in relation to "stimulus based approaches" working. How's Japan been rollin' these past 30 years? How has the our wonderful land of the U.S.A. been doing since the awe inspiring 800 billion dollar per year stimulus plan was put into action so many years ago? And yes, that 800 billion has been an official part of the budget since it's inception. Recovery Summer ring any bells?
The debate isn't settled. To say so is laughable. If you hitching your Stimulus Wagon to the U.S. and Japan you will be in a ditch before you leave the homestead. Japan is fucked, this tripling down on proven BoJ failed policies has juiced the stock market but done little else, short term inflationary gains in exchange for another generations worth of capital and wealth. Plus, Japans "Stimulus" is out of the BoJ and thus it is a monetary program and not a fiscal one. There is a huge difference and the author either not knowing the difference or not being up front about it kind of invalidates the article.
Austerity = Fiscal.
Nice try, though.
It's fine and dandy to say future probabilities may sink my argument however, how is the US doing compared to other countries who faced similar recessions and did not opt to utilize a stimulus. If my hypothesis is correct, then they would be fairing better across the board, what are the results again?

No.
First, Europe didn't really attempt austerity, although you seem to biting that false meme, hook line and sinker.
Stimulus trickles down? And when that money runs out, what then? I bet you had a big "Summer of Recovery" banner hanging from your place of residence, oh so many years ago. Also, Japan has been doing massive fiscal stimulus for about 20+ years....how'd that work out?
Good lord.
they did attempt austerity, it's bullshit, based off of spurious findings with flawed statistical analysis. Previous years do not matter as we are talking about during recession, the previous 30 years are of no utility. What we can do is a comparison of countries using stimulus vs non-stimulus vs austerity vs whatever and simply do a linear regression analysis with the multiple variables. We see that stimulus based recovery plans tend to produce quicker recovery or halting of decline inverse to austerity. I don't think it's obvious with longitudinal of this nature too many variables are often confounding, however, at worst it indicates that austerity is a bad approach and that stimulus is possibly useful.

Never said I wouldn't follow the order, nor did I say it wasn't his order to give. Just that it's pretty demeaning for a man trained to fight, to be ordered to hold an umbrella like a fuckin' butler.
Or the president of the united states kissing some peasants baby right? you come off as quite the self important nipple head.

Meh. I still think it's disrespectful. If Bush, Reagan, etc. asked service members to hold an umbrella over their head, I think that was disrespectful too. Nothing earth shattering. Just disrespectful.
too who? it should be an honor, that is the most powerfulman in the world, your CC. The fact that it's being raised now indicates a racial issue since it is common for this to occur. I don't see any disrespect, I bet the marine was more then happy to do it.

Really? Because last time I checked, we were warriors that served the citizens of the united states, and protect and uphold the constitution, and that we follow the presidents orders as the office is the CiC, no where do I remember in my job description as being a personal servant to the President.
And yes, I know we follows his orders as CiC, but its not an honor for any warrior to hold an umbrella for any man, regardless of what his title is. And IMHO, its disrespectful as hell to order your warriors to hold an umbrella over your head, especially when they have aides specifically paid to do that.
What kind of man finds honor in holding a fucking umbrella for another man? No one with any dignity or self worth, that's for fucking sure.
so you don't serve the commander and chief then?

you made the claim his emails were "doctored" so you first brainiac
they were, words were added. I almost can't have a conversation with you, you are so stupid. You ramble on about bullshit constantly, just stupid bullshit like the bell curve, bimodal distribution blah blah and were just so fucking off the mark it indicated you in fact, had no fucking clue, not even a basic level of understanding. Yet you were acting as if you are some authority. Now in this thread you have taken a specific item, the emails were doctored and to counter this claim you indicate some aspects were not altered, as if my using the word doctored meant all inclusive. No one with an iq over 86-88 would assume such a retarded premise, then again, you. Tony you have a drinking problem. It's obvious for everyone to see, 240 sees it, strawman sees it. You barely post anymore and when you do it's just angry rants. Your grammar continues to decline, structure and syntax just brushed aside. Tony, this is an intervention, you are stupid. You need to go to a treatment center, it's called school. It's a 10 year program but retards of your magnitude can opt out after only several years. You will then go on to become a lonely shut in, posting frantically about the president, for any old reason. Angry about policies you know nothing more of then simple talking points, headline material. You only have your self and you begin a relationship with a black woman who loves you and you love back tony, you do. She then breaks your heart going with a brotha for moar dick action. You post frantically and spend more time on the internet then anyone, the best of it all. You discover the formula for the Einstein rosen bridge leap back in time and walk up to tony and say, Im 33, or as you call yourself tony. I am you we are one ---> M. Night Shyamalan

Holding an umbrella over a grown man's head is not an honor. If he was disabled or elderly, yes.
you are right, Obama is only the fucking president and most powerful man in the world at the moment. Would it be anything like bowing or kneeling before the pope? it should be an honor to such an act for any president.
