- Simon Johnson on the impact of austerity on children's programs. Anyone who thought that Thomas Sowell's article just nailed Obama because it pointed out that Obama ignored a "solution" to the problems posed by austerity by rejecting the GOP bill needs to read this article. The GOP bill was rejected because it made one part of sequester less biting and arbitrary and another part of sequester more biting and arbitrary. A solution to sequester would be not having sequester.
- Julia Isaacs, of the Urban Institute, has a report on the incidence of unemployment from the perspective of children.

ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder if there was anyone who thought *that* (as opposed to the much much more limited point that e.g. Sowell and Boudreaux were actually making)

ReplyDeleteWow, if austerity in the rich countries is already this bad, can you imagine how bad children in Iran have it because of Obama's sanctions? How many children will be suffering and dying over there because of Obama?
The sequester should be an educational opportunity. People in general are in favor of reducing gov't spending. The sequester shows what that means. There are arguments about whether certain programs should be cut more than others. Those arguments reveal where our priorities really lie. The sequester is bad policy, but we should learn what we can from it.
