The econ threads on FR really took a turn toward the retarded over the past few weeks.

We had the "US corporations don't pay too many taxes thread," the "Milton Friedman was a Keynesian thread," and the weekly "let's raise taxes on ourselves as individuals, in order to increase prosperity" thread, among others.

Retarded is an apt description. My favorite, at least recently, is Government deficit spending, pursued judiciously, remains the single most effective tool we have to fight against mass unemployment caused by severe recessions.

Krugman and Keynes march on. Might be a good time to re-post those two fabulous rap videos - Keynes vs. Hayek. Now that was great stuff.
