<<<<Keynesian economics seems to have logic on it's side, if it was ever followed as prescribed.>>>>> Well said. It's like a fat person that gets fatter and fatter. They keep trying diets, but they are addicted to junk food. Once in a while they try a new diet and lose some pounds but then they go on a binge again and the next time they are even bigger than before they went on the diet. You know you shouldn't get fat and you know that another cupcake is bad for you but you eat it anyway. ...........And all this warm fuzzy crap that Krugman spews out, pretending there is an easy way out if we just did what he says is fantasy. We are in the mess we are because we followed Krugmans advice - we artificially stimulated the economy that then led to the housing boom. We didn't even try to go on a diet as we instead started eating cupcakes with both hands - and Krugman was standing there handing out the cupcakes.
