When has austerity ever worked?

It's working exactly as it is designed to. Funneling money from the poor to the rich.

Austerity is never advised in a situation where ANYTHING is going to work. It's the equivalent of trying to tighten your budget when you lose your job. It could possibly help a little but it's not going to fix it.
