Summary: Digby and Stuart discuss the austerity zombie, this time in response to Gene Sperling's remarks about the necessity of entitlement cuts. Then Stuart gives us some insight into large software development projects involving multiple participants referring to the PPACA. Both issues demonstrate the superiority of dirty hippie policies. We discuss the resistance of the Village to popular and effective policy including the role played by the centrist media. Plus political satire from Culture of Truth. Jay Ackroyd moderates.
