Corrected headline: boomers voted in austerity assholes and now their kids have to pay for it with their money
I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea that spending more debt than every government before them every single time for decades is austerity. They spent more than all the money constantly. Some austerity would have actually helped but they didn't do that.
They have been needing to raise taxes on the wealthy for decades, but they've been reducing them instead.
