Hysteria over the deficit has ground the economy to a halt

If you look at economies around the world. those who have gone crazy with cutting, cutting cutting or better known as austerity have economies that are stalled, at best.  The Republicans are insisting on a similar approach and our economy is doing a bit better because of the early stimulus.  Our economy is so slow because of our deficit hysteria.
