What with Eric Cantor, everybody's fave fascist gunsul, saying over the weekend that income inequality in the US is '"a problem," even some of the banksters "on the 31st floor" behind that plutocratic "gold plated door"* are having second thoughts about where they've taken us.
According to Krugman this morning, "Right now, the two most prominent institutions calling for an end to the disastrous turn to short-run austerity are … Goldman Sachs and the International Monetary Fund."

"Meanwhile, the IMF special report for the G20 (pdf) is essentially a declaration that the focus on universal austerity was wrong, wrong, wrong."
So it turns out the hippies were right. Not just about this, but about everything.
The moral of the story: be a hippie.
