“Where is the austerity? The cuts Keynesians are complaining about are mere reductions in increase. ‘Despite austerity rhetoric,’ wrote Frank Karsten, ‘government debts keep rising in most democratic countries. ‘Austerity’ is a code word for ‘spending less than we had wanted, but more than in the past.’ In the end, they wind up raising taxes, rather than lowering expenditures to cut deficits.’ As we reported last week, central banks around the world continue to cut their euro holdings for the third straight year. The Old World’s scrip now accounts for only 23.3% of foreign reserve holdings. If central banks are wary of euros… you should be as well.”
