But that was a link before I hit the jackpot.*

"Europe is not U.S. when it comes to austerity, infrastructure or other investments." The jackpot is that when it comes to comparing austerity, one must recognize the starting point. Also it is not the "entitlements" but the investing, or more accurately, the not investing or arrangement of payment. But it is a bit of a double-edged-sword that is not just about cuts. Austerity is not the only answer, but paying for it is. Europe may have more to pay for, but that is not just on the negative side of the ledger, as they have more social programs and infrastructure on the books and actual works. I might not be painting the clearest of pictures, but I am trying to show that Europe is a different picture than U.S.

** Ironically, David Brooks starts*** out making some interesting points, but speaking of pictures... he is an Escher in Wonderland, speaking of trickle-down.
*** "social constructs" are fine, but the formula needs work, not to mention ethics in ethos
