Tell us Kenny, what was the main policy in Hoover's administration that caused the crash of '29 just months into his term. Educate us....pretty please. p.s....we're borrowing more money in a week now than it would have taken to buy most of the whole damned country in 1929.

How long are the Barry Soetoro disastrous effects going to last? That is the question that is starting to bother more and more people. I bet he breaks hoover's 10 years even though hoovers 10 years were made worst by FDR. Surprised you have yet to link the tornadoes to global warming. Saw a talking head on TV that has linked the tornadoes to cooling of the pacific ocean.But I guess the cooling effect of the pacific ocean is really from global warming. I am sure he must have a web site some where. citizen chartseer

The Keynesian Growth Discount online.wsj.com The U.S. has been undertaking an experiment in economic policy. Could record levels of government spending, waves of new regulation and political credit allocation, and unprecedented monetary stimulus re-ignite growth? The results have been rolling in, and they represent what increasingly looks like an historic mistake that deserves to be called the Keynesian growth discount. The contrast in results between the current recovery and the Reagan years is instructive because the policy mix was so different. In the 1980s, the policy goals were to cut tax rates, reduce regulatory costs and uncertainty, let the private economy allocate capital free of political direction, and focus monetary policy on price stability rather than on reducing unemployment. This is the policy mix we need to rediscover if we are going to escape our current malaise and stop suffering from the Keynesian discount.
