And it's part of the right wing party line. I've heard this lie several times in the last year from Rethug leaders.<br /><br />Emphasizing good goals does not justify the use of a blatant lie, and I'm surprised you embraced his comment.<br /><br />The problem we see at the ZIRB is that essentially all the new money has gone into reserves, not into circulation.<br /><br />The whole point of fiscal policy is pump priming. Get people working and spending and kick start the economy. When things are rolling again you can go back to monetary policy.<br /><br />You might note that, as PK has pointed out repeatedly, Keynesian theory has been quite consistent with results since the crisis. The ideas of people who believe govt jobs are fake have been consistently wrong.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JzB aligned with the twitsJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098432983500045934.post-31905884444971871872012-01-06T07:33:22.176-05:002012-01-06T07:33:22.176-05:00Art,
