'The loons in D.C. aren’t really Keynesians. Keynesians would be an improvement. They’re worse than Keynesians.'

I know, I've repeated that many times. Even Keynes wanted a balanced budget, with outsets for bad times. We don't even have that these days.

I wish you’d quit posting you are an embarrassment. What you are saying is tax rates need to go up to reduce the debt. THAT IS CRAZY. THAT DOESN’T WORK, IT REDUCES REVENUE BECAUSE THE ECNOMY DOESN’T GROW.

” Even Keynes wanted a balanced budget,”

No, he did not. He said the exact opposite. You obviously don’t know Keynes.

He said government spending grew the economy and deficient spending was necessary. You cannot have government “investment” without spending more than was taken in.

Keynes was a socialist idiot that claimed the government is the only entity that creates jobs and that commercial activity was only the result of government spending.

The moron forgot that taxes are the only revenue government has and commercial activity must come before taxes can be paid.
