The allegation that homosexuals don't plan for the future strikes me as more pseudo-science masquerading as science. And saying that Keynes' economics were colored by his homosexuality is just plain bizarre. How, pray tell, does heterosexuality affect economics? Does it make a difference whether the economist is a virgin, or married and faithful to his wife? What if the economist is a serial philanderer? Or fancies sheep? Or engages in group sex? But worse is characterizing Keyne's monetary philosophy as "spend it now." Keynes said the government should spend money during a recession, and save money during a boom, to act as a counterweight to market forces and keep them from destabilizing the monetary system. To call countercyclicalism "spend it now" seems extraordinarily ignorant for a Ph.D. economist.
