Erin Go Bragh – Ireland Inspires Europe with Budget Cuts as NYT Plugs Obama, Decrys “Austerity”

Contrary to what the Obama White House recommends, Ireland is cutting its budget and alleviating debt. Other European countries now appear inclined to do the same even as The New York Times makes every effort to sell the EU on discredited Keynesian schemes... Ireland’s “Celtic Tiger” economy, the envy of Europe throughout the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st Century, has slowed dramatically and The New York Times recommends stimulus spending to grease the engines.
