Yes, austerity and sacrifice indeed. That is to say: austerity and sacrifice for the working people of America. The toilers be damned! But those nice rich people, we can't very well take them to task can we? After all, it is not the case that they are rich because they take from their workers, those who actually do something for a living other than cashing a fat check at the end of the month. No, not at all.
Capitalism dying? Not a big deal. The American Dream never really existed if by American Dream you mean real freedom. Democracy dying on the other hand--yes, very big deal. Not that America is truly a democracy.
