    Austerity: Maybe it will work in Saudi Arabia. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/12/29/saudis-unveil-radical-austerity-programme.html

    Saudi Arabia needs to cut back on hospitals to rebuild the weaponry Reagan sold them to protect bin Laden’s financiers.

    The financiers still fund Sunni terror.

    Bombing Shiites in Yemen is expensive.

    Keep driving!

    Austerity works only if the cuts come off the top earners. Cutting from the bottom only makes the poor suffer more. Cut the rich welfare, not the poor welfare.

    My company’s new virus protection will not let me load angrybearblog.com since it identifies it as containing a known threat. I do not have access to determine the details.

      Happy New Years Arne.
