Krugman doesn't think Japan followed his advice. And clearly Japan's program wasn't "Keynesian"! (Keynes gets a bad rap these days, most deficits aren't Keynesian - they are just bad policy)

But I agree with you on two counts: Japan's policy has been confused, and they have ended up with a terrible credit rating for their efforts.

Bad policy = bad results! Just look at Bush.
