#austerity

The seminaries must be like the churches' poor relations, prolonging their existence with austerity. ↗

I grew up in austerity in the 1940s and 1950s. ↗

First of all, I don't like to speak about austerity. I'd prefer to speak of fiscal discipline. Fiscal discipline, in the end, amounts to austerity if it is not accompanied by other policies. ↗

Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity is what is doing us in. ↗

The more we can do to address fiscal austerity, the better our markets will do, and there is a real political shift to doing that. ↗

In the U.S. the powerful critics of austerity such as Paul Krugman and Robert Reich rightly identify the decline of 'labor' as a problem, and renewing trade unionism part of the solution. Our opportunity is to make the same case in the UK. ↗

Never has a strong, responsible trade union movement been so needed. With austerity policies biting hard and with no evidence that they are working, people at work need the TUC to speak up for them now more than ever. ↗

The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model. ↗

If the program goes off track again due to recession, this should not become a pretext for the imposition of more austerity measures. ↗

There is a danger for Britain as we perceive ourselves, or as we are - less wealthy, facing economic austerity - that we essentially draw back. I think there is a recoil in parts of the country, and in parts of the government actually, from the multilateral system, and I think that's dangerous and wrong. ↗
