Guy was sitting on his front porch just observing the world go by. Looked up the street and saw two blonds. One would dig a hole in the space between the sidewalk and the street. Both would just stand there looking at the hole for a while. Then, the second blond would fill the hole in. He watched this behavior time after time as they slowly worked their way closer and closer to him. When they arrived across the street from his house he hollered over to them, "What are you girls doing? One digs a hole and the other one fills it in. Whats up?" The tallest blond answered, "We are really a team of three but the girl who plants the trees called in sick today"........Va,,Boom.....  |

Sounds like a couple of students of John Maynard Keynes.

Sounds like a couple of students of John Maynard Keynes. Debate time! OK, John - this time you start the thread. If you don't want Keynesian policies, what do you want? Communism a la Comrade Julliard? |

Swampy,
We are long past the Keynesian idea of employing two blokes, one to dig a hole and the other to fill it in. China is doing that now on a grand scale.
When JMK first suggested that, the governments of the world were not drowning in red ink, They are now! ''Stimulus' with borrowed money when you are deep in debt serves no good purpose, it just gets you deeper in the hole.
As any good American will tell you, Governments should get out of the way and let business get on with the job of making stuff, including jobs!
....and komrade juLIAR gillard is a red-head (a 'ranga") not a blonde!
