If we went into the downturn with a reasonable budget/debt management system in place, the stimulus might have worked. But we are too far gone. Not much is going to us out of this mess.

This is the same “expert” who shouted down anyone who questioned Obama’s massive spending (kick-backs) during the slump?
He needs to take a long hike off a short pier with Obammy’s czars.

Slashing government spending in a depressed economy depresses the economy further; austerity should wait until a strong recovery is well under way. 
"Excuse me asking, Your Excellency, but didn't Obama say we were in a recovery?"

"Ahhhh. Smart guy, eh? Then tell me, Einstein, why The New York Times is firing staffers and closing bureaus instead of spending more money?"

Government spending grew by 7.7% per year during Obama’s first 2 years. Meanwhile inflation for the first 2 years of his administration was 0.65%. GDP grew 0.82% during the same period. So he grew government ~12 times the rate of inflation and ~9 times the rate the whole economy grew.
Yeah, sounds like very austere budgeting.
