The State Financial Officers Foundation claims to be a nonpartisan, neutral body representing the guardians of state finances. In truth, the corporate donor–dependent nonprofit pushes a right-wing austerity agenda under the guise of fighting fraud.

No, it’s not. “Austerity” implies that everyone does without. It’s not that at all, it’s simply vindictive. They want to subject people they hate to “austerity”, while carving out exceptions for their friends (who they think deserve it more, anyway).
That’s what austerity is.
No, if you call it “austerity” you are at least trying to hide it behind a veneer of self sacrifice. These folks aren’t even doing that anymore.
