Apart from this article, I have to say it was quite an experience having Christmas yesterday and all my family talked about was the $2,000 checks. Trump comes out of this looking like the good guy after more than one Dem has publicly talked about how bad this would be.
You said austerity, not raising taxes. One would think that ideologically the talking heads on the right will support cuts to "socialist programs".
The working class on the right won't care about social cuts - unless they are told to -which is a possibility.
If he raises taxes as well as cutting programs thats where the issue that you're talking about appears. However austerity doesn't necessarily mean tax increases.
Austerity is combining spending cuts with revenue increases. Raise taxes for everyone and cut benefits for the poor. EU playbook
Austerity is the attempt to raise government funds. This is through reducing spending by cutting services, raising taxes, or both. It can be a combination but not necessarily. The EU playbook doesn't apply - instead look at how the American right have done austerity - spending cuts and tax cuts - because tax cuts are the ultimate neoliberal goal
