"...nowadays instant gratification isn't quick enough for some people."

An excellent column today by Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum about why austerity has become so popular with the British public and yet is just a buzzword without any real substance behind it in the United States. According to Applebaum, a lot of it is politics but a lot of it is rooted in the personal histories of politicians in power today.

Definitely worth reading and hopefully it'll do more than just motivate you to add Postcards from the Edge to your Netflix queue.
