    This is sort of the logic of the ruling class. The ruling class is aware that their plan in the medium term has to be austerity to get out of the present crisis. That renewed austerity will likely start falling into place before the need for relief has abated. They have no ability to actually meet people’s needs through the downturn, and they have an incentive to avoid the appearance that they can.
