Meh.

I read a thread on an American bulletin board that claimed that all the fall in Irish living standards since 2008 were due to the cuts we made.

People are panicking because governments all over the world are making cuts, as they've finally realised that stimulus packages can't continue indefinately and the books have to balance - some people oppose this, want spending to continue regardless of the actual balance sheet and are dragging us out as an example of austerity gone wrong.

One's a general article from the outside looking in on the entire crisis, the other is a specific article dealing with facts and the actual numbers. Neither really contradicts the other tbh.
