George Bush dramatically cut government spending to give those tax cuts to the rich, right? What income brackets got those tax cuts again? And those tax cut defiantly made revenue go down, right?

May I kindly suggest Austrian Economics at Mises.org. They have an interesting insight. There are infinite ways that Keynes' General Theory. To get more knowledge out of less time invested go to Campaignforliberty.com

If Keynes was so smart about German hyper inflation, why did we copy the fiat based monetary system of Germany? (A system derived from Karl Marx.)

I don't believe it is efficient to continually put faith in the power of one man or the other or an oligarchy. Stop investing your intellect into politicians.

“Go red team!”
“No! Go blue team!”

This is all I'm hearing from this article: regurgitation.

To think that maybe if stop playing the red vs. blue game, maybe we can all win if we deserve it.

“What the liberal must ask, first of all, is not how fast or how far we should move, but where we should move. In fact, he differs much more from the collectivist radical of today than does the conservative. While the last generally holds merely a mild and moderate version of the prejudices of his time, the liberal today must more positively oppose some of the basic conceptions which most conservatives share with the socialists.”

-Friedrich August von Hayek (8 May 1899 – 23 March 1992) was a Nobel laureate in economics, social scientist and political theorist.

It was your second-to-last paragraph that really hit me, and that we should spend some more time unpacking: the fact that the kinds of jobs created by government stimulus aren't the kinds that will prove profitable for big business, and therefore aren't interesting to conservatives.

(It was such a complete misunderstanding of the value of any job that doesn't improve Wall Street's bottom line that led dim-bulb Michael Steele to claim that infrastructure & education spending don't create or save “jobs,” they just create “work.” Apparently, any labor that doesn't line his buddies' pockets through stock dividends isn't worth doing.)

Keynes and the New Deal have been taking it on the chin a lot lately, from people who think the way out of our predicament is by continuing to dig the hole that got us into it. Now the media is starting to complain that the stimulus doesn't create “signature projects,” like new bridges or the Interstate Highway System, and that Americans may not maintain their support for infrastructure spending if it merely fixes what's broken, but doesn't result in grand accomplishments to which they can point.

Obama's good fortune is that, since the Reagan era at least, infrastructure spending has lagged so much that there are masses of projects ready to go, that have just been waiting for money. They're not glamorous, but (assuming they're undertaken efficiently) they should get a bunch of people working in short order.

His trick tonight is to convince us to keep going, to use this Keynesian moment to get serious about revamping the energy and health care sectors — to make further cash outlays that will get people working now, and set us up to reap economic rewards later. (Of course, how he'll do that while simultaneously arguing for halving the budget deficit by 2012 is beyond me. That should have been a conversation for next year.)
