While not a fan of JMK, I feel obligated to point out to the folks in government that they should have finished his book. Yes, his policy calls for the government to stimulate the economy by issuing debt to get the velocity of money moving.
However, that part they forgot to read was when revenues started coming in, you are supposed to pay down the debt so that you had the ability to be stimulative again, when the cycle changed.
Seems like part I is fun. Part II is not. So our government just blew it off.
Who the hell cares if in the long run it all goes crash? "In the long run, we're all dead." -- J.M. Keynes. Homosexual economics.
It’s a fairly safe bet that someone who doesn’t have kids couldn’t care less what their country will look like after they’re dead. It simply means nothing.
And that’s goes a VERY LONG WAY in explaining the suicidal policies of Europe and the US when it comes to immigration. Basically the people making the decisions (generally) don’t have kids (for whatever reason) and thus they spend money like there’s no tomorrow - because for them, there really isn’t, once they’re gone.
Having kids should almost be a requirement for high political office.
Ferguson is way too smart to draw such simplistic conclusions. That’s why he apologized-—he embarrased himself/ He is probably increasingly frustrated by the fact that this cipher Obama is still President and all his policies seem to refer back to Keynes in some way in the quest for some philosophical cache. You can’t blame him.
He’s got a point, but there is no real causality, even though I myself have noticed the extreme predictability of people with no children and their worldview. There’s a dimension missing, definitely.
What in the world? LOL.
A professor who dares challenge the political correctness thought police, especially when it comes to the turd poker culture, better watch his back at a toilet like Harvard. I think this guy is in for a real sh**storm.
Keynes called himself an immoralist.
He was a big fan of the “Parable of the Bees”, which advocated immorality as being good for society.
Alright, let 's just say it. keynes' economic policies sucked and keynes sucked little boys.
Could someone please contact me when a Republican doesn't apologize for speaking the truth?
Keynes did not have children and had questionable interests in preserving the future saying, "In the long run we are all dead."
On a related note, from Johan Goldberg at NRO:

“In the long run we’re all dead.”
Keynes, when asked how long his policies of piling up debt could last.
Keynes's whole environment -- Bloomsbury -- was shaped by homosexuality. The question would be how much of his outlook came from his own homosexuality, how much from Bloomsbury, and how much from other sources.
And of course, many heterosexuals have similar indifference to the future, and that cuts across political lines (think of deficits, for example).
