Republicans have never cared about driving up the debt, so their new found attraction to austerity is just a con.
Let me tell you what I think is really going on. Take the USPS model ... sabotage to force change. In the USPS' case it is so the service can be privatized. I don't think the the main proponent of USPS privatization being Fed Ex is surprising, considering the founder of FedEx, Frederick W Smith, was a member of Skull and Bones like "W". If you connect the dots you can see how "W" did a favor for a fraternity brother by bankrupting the USPS, so his buddy could move in on it. We aren't supposed to notice these things, but we do.
The austerity game is about convincing the general public that the economy is so bad that the only thing that can be done to remedy the crisis is privatizing government assets, and parts of the commons.
If you think like a drunken, elitist frat boy on a panty raid you can see where these "wholesome" ideas emerge from.
