The stench of hypocrisy is all over yo

It is....the fact is we love debt

but at least i don't chase bankers down the street anymore

Americans are not taught about economics. They will teach you pretty everything EXCEPT how to manage money.

Coincidence? No, it's not.

That's a good point. What economics is taught is not practical economics that would help you understand important money concepts that would benefit you personally. It could be as you say by design to keep the average person dumb and in debt to keep the old consumer economy rolling along.

Also teach them about the economic history of socialism.

Nope, they won't do it.

you too need to get out more often

Love you revisionists and propagandist tools

How Trickle-down Economics Works

Keynesianism Is the Real Trickle-Down Economics

Keynesians advocate stimulus programs believing that the spent money will gradually "trickle" through society. This is much closer to the caricature of "trickle-down economics" they always talk about.

Maybe economic students, but that connection leads us to Trump, who worshipped Reagan's policies

FDR fell in love withKeynes

Interestingly, Keynes loved the Nazi model and was quoted as saying that Hitler proved his economic theories before he had time to publish them. Then he said that his economic policies work best in a totalitarian regime. Naturally, this was well before the war.

Trump's $1.5 trillion debt bomb he called a "tax reform" was supposed to stimulate the economy. Remember how wages were going to explode?

It turns out all those corporations who received a big cash windfall from their tax cuts used that money to do stock buybacks instead of trickling it down to their workers.

That's awful!!
I hate it when my stocks increase in price.

Stocks are below where they were in January...

Which ones?

Most of them.

Not sure if you're lying or ignorant.
I am sure that you're wrong.
Our stock market is higher now than it was in January.

It is below the highs of January....

I see, so it was a dig at Trump and his supporters.

Gotcha.

At least Trump does not endorse taxpayers paying for mass genocide via abortion and knows how to use e-mail.

Know what I mean?

In fact, his deregulation has helped spark a meager economy that Obama said may never reach 3% GDP ever again.

Is there anything in this world liberals hate more than a tax cut? They writhe in agony its funny

Do republicans love anything more than adding to the debt? They take such joy in being fiscally irresponsible.

Why does it matter?

Naturally, the object is to defend the reputation of someone who spoke of conservative ideals, but at the end of the day, does it matter?

Most of what politicians say is only to be seen and not implemented.

I have no such idols in my closet.

Keynes was , in the economic universe of his time, seen as a radical by his peers.

Abstract

In the (1936) preface to the German edition of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, Keynes contrasts his methodology with that of Classical laissez-faire economics. He also compares and contrasts his methodology with German economics, which members of the German Historical School had heavily influenced. Unfortunately, some view Keynes as arguing in this Preface that his theory could more deductively apply to fascism than to laissez-faire economies. This would suggest an endorsement of Nazism. Of course, any support offered for Nazism should be condemned. However, instead of displaying Nazi sympathies, this paper argues that the Preface more likely supports the widespread methodological rejection in German economics of deducing laissez-faire outcomes from Classical postulates. Furthermore, Keynes criticizes the more inductive approach of many German economists, and states that he provides them with the theoretical framework which they could deductively apply to their totalitarian economy. Keynes should be read as arguing that his theoretical framework would prove more applicable to a totalitarian system than would a theory based on Classical laissez-faire economics. Comments in the Preface which seem to some to support Nazism should be taken, then, as support for the applicability of his theory to such a system. Keynes’ methodological arguments in the prefaces to the other editions, which reflect his overall methodological approach in the General Theory, his familiarity with German economics, his support for liberal economic and political institutions, and his anti-Nazism, all support this alternative interpretation. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Midwest Economics Association Meetings in Chicago on March 16, 2008.

Forget MISES and other Libertarian craziness Keynes’ Preface to the German Edition of the General Theory: Nazi Sympathies or Methodological Empathies?

Yes, and CEO's like Henry Ford own companies like Facebook and Twitter and YouTube who actively censor conservative speech currently.

In fact, the Boston Tea party was not over higher taxes for tea. In fact, British East Indies company lowered the cost of tea when they tried to create a monopoly. The issue was corporate control. The British government used the East Indies company to conquer India, they even had their own little army.

This is the disconnect in American politics. The Left bashes corporate America while defending government and the right bashes those in government while defending corporate America. At the end of the day, corporate America and those in government are best friends. There is a reason why Trump gave all those millions of dollars to Chuck U Schumer.

After all, politicians don't create any economic benefit. They are merely leaches who feed off corporate dollars. In return, government gives corporations legitimacy and use taxpayer dollars to bail them out if things go wrong.

And guess who created the corporation. It was government. In fact, corporations are nothing more than mini governments.

Gotcha.

Not necessarily

there have been many Keynesian policy potus's

if there's any 'dig', it's at those who do not grasp this
