Actually Keynes did defend it, during times of prosperity, so that you could lessen the debt.

Keynes was arguing that you should raise taxes in times of prosperity, though. I don't think austerity proponents would approve of that.

It is technically a form of austerity. Its just not something that any of them would ever support being that it requires actual brains.
