The general austerity theory is contradicted by the fact that government budgets in most of the US haven't been reduced.
The problem is the largest programs that already eat most of the budgets continue to expand to consume everything that's left. We dramatically increase taxpayer-funded healthcare spending while doing nothing about underlying healthcare costs and then wonder where all the money went.
