PARAPHRASE

Hi! would you be so kind and try to paraphrase these two sentences for me:

Austerity has replaced stimulus as the watchword of governments seeking to pay down deficits.

Obama has watched his efforts at consensus-building bounce off the hard surfaces of entrenched partisanship.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Hi, would you be so kind and try to paraphrase these two sentences for me: Austerity has replaced stimulus as the watchword of governments seeking to pay down deficits. Some governments want to stop spending more than they receive each year. They now value saving money more than they value spending money to make the economy get better.
