Nice to pick and choose.
2012 budget cut 19,000 public sector jobs and around $4 billion in spending IIRC.
Yes, we all know the overall spending went up. They also had to deal with a recession and an American economy that still hasn't gotten going. Point is that they still found SOME way to cut SOMETHING, and nobody DIED.
And I'm not calling the spending increases GOOD. The point is that if governments want to cut spending, they can....and nobody is going to die a horrible death.
