The problem with the "stimulus" is that it was no stimulus at all. It saved the banks. it didn't put any money into taxpayers/consumers' pockets. ^^^^ CB: What kind of exaggerated horseshit is that ? the stimulus was no stimulus at all. ^^^^ The government also didn't engage into a single large scale public works program... the only public spending continued to be the overseas war, which profits a select number of private contractors. ^^^^^ CB; Under Keynesian theory , military spending stimulates , too. The demand for public works programs is Marxist, more than Keynesian. ^^^^^^^ No new roads,no new bridges, no large-scale energy production reconversion. No printing money to put them into the hands of CONSUMERS and no major policy to bring back MANUFACTURING to the US of A. So if you put money in the consumers' wallets as things are right now, they'll buy Made in China goods. Trying to blame Keynesianism for the current sad state of the US economy is laughable. The POTUS has not engaged in Keynesian economics yet. FC ^^^^^^ CB; That this exam tries to _blame_ Keynesians for the the current sad stae of the US economy is what is laughable. You don't answer whether all you propose would have ended/prevented/abated recession and high unemployment. Can government spending end recession ? You get a D on the exam. Would have been an F , but you tried to answer. |
