Austerity is not a precursor to long-term prosperity - its costs outweigh any proposed benefits;
Its shock/sudden fiscal adjustments are damaging in themselves;
Long-term growth is a lot more important than short-term deficit reduction for future prosperity.
None of this is necessarily news, but its worth reiterating!
