Austerity Audacity

This past Thursday White House staff released a statement that included the comment...
 "the era of manufactured crises and mindless austerity" 
Austerity?
Austerity?
Austerity?
What austerity?
The executive branch is taking credit for an economy that has had some positive results.
An economy that was in serious recession because of government meddling with housing mortgages.
An economy screwed with by central planning wonks that have no choice but admit that this has been the slowest recovery since the great depression.
An economy that has seen a jolt from Saudi Arabia's lowered oil prices, a course of action that dovetails the President's poorly camouflaged objectives of restricting fossil based energy supply.
What does he want, he wants to spend more money and its going to be tough on him with the way Congress is constituted.
