But instead he just reiterates his premises (e.g. "austerity means decreasing the deficit"), sits astride his I'm-technically-correct-which-is-the-best-kind-of-correct high horse, and watches the thread get derailed. This isn't even technically correct: Austerity means cutting government spending and (maybe) raising more revenue. Whether a given austerity plan actually reduces the deficit as a percentage of GDP is, of course, not guaranteed.

Actually this is exactly how smart countries deal with this situation: if someone maxes out their credit cards and can't service the debt, they can declare bankruptcy and the creditor has to gently caress off and be smarter next time instead of getting to enslave the debtor's kids.

To prevent a debt crisis, I am going to sell my stove and then lease it back at an inflated price. Also I am going to stop buying my insulin to save on the monthly medicine costs. Now I will never have to worry about debt.

Wait, you're friends with a banker and he's still alive? What kind of person are you, you monster. E: BRB going to kill my family for voting for Mitt Romney. And my sister for supporting Hillary.

I should just be a banker, by the time the tribunal is about to sentence me to death for my crimes against the proletariat, they will have already all killed each other to prove who is the most dedicated to excising counterrevolutionaries among the ranks, and I can just walk out and go back to swindling retirement funds and pension plans.
