Liberals, unions, Move-on push new stimulus program

From pro-Democrat site "The Hill":
Liberals outline stimulus agenda in 'Contract for the American Dream'

Liberal organizations and unions are frustrated that President Obama has not aggressively pushed a new jobs stimulus agenda, and are offering a consolidated fall agenda for Democrats to [push] as an alternative to austerity.
Now, would that be the "austerity" of a failed $800 Billion "stimulus" bill, that produced jobs at the bargain price of barely $200,000 per job?

Or would that be the "austerity" of raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 Trillion, at a time when every country in the world is saying "You're borrowing too damn much as it is"?

Would that be, perhaps, the "austerity" of hosting dozens of White House dinner parties featuring $100-per-pound Wagyu steak, while most people were struggling to make their mortgage payments?

Or would that be the "austerity" of taking the enormous Boeing 747--Air Force One--for the 150-mile hop from Andrews AFB down to a conference at Williamsburg, Virginia?

Or the "austerity" of "only" playing 79 rounds of golf this year?

Damn, those Obamas have so much of that "austerity" going on. If only they'd just loosen up and spend some of that sweet taxpayer money for a change, the economy would probably...hell, I can't write that with a straight face.
