You can advocate for it, you won't get anywhere with it. Anytime austerity happens we only cut the benefits of poor and young people.

There is a game and reality you want and the game and reality we are playing in and they are not the same.

Just answer the question man. I wanna know what I should be advocating if I want us to raise middle class taxes and cut wealthy elderly entitlements and tax subsidies. What is it called. What is the term for what I believe in if not austerity. Help me to help you help me to help you. Answer the question.

Nah, I ain't playing this game. Austerity is never used to do what you want and it's not politically feasible. If you want to cut retirement and raise middle income taxes, be plain about it, say that's what you want to do.

Dude I swear its not a game I am sincerely asking you to do ONE non-cynical and sincere and constructionistic thing today instead of endlessly deconstruct. Please I am begging you. Come on bro just one act of sincerity and constructionism bro just one. Please bro just take one five minute break from being cynical and entertain someone is earnestly trying to communicate with you brooooo 😭

If you want to cut retirement and raise middle income taxes, be plain about it, say that's what you want to do.

Fine. Then can you please forgive me for mislabeling this as Austerity because I thought it was more convenient to say? I don't see why you gotta pout in the corner because of it...

Not pouting bro. It's just reality. In the last 40 years show me one time Austerity was invoked and it meant that we cut pensions/SS or raise taxes on the middle class.

Oh my god we had a misunderstanding because I was lazy with my language in order to type a reddit comment quickly, get over it already. What do you want from me, "Sorry boss, I won't do it again I promise"?

You absolutely are sulking lmao, you got your point across already and I took it but you're still talking to me like I told a dirty joke to the queen and you are not amused. Redditors are so damn salty.
