Donald Trump vs. Ross Perot

[Kingpoleon]

Perot's campaign was based on gross austerity politics, but Perot wasn't outright hateful, so Perot.

Someone with your profile economic score shouldn't be talking about austerity like it's a swear word.

I'm not exactly a Keynesian, but austerity is more of a a political prescription than an economic one. "Raise taxes, reduce spending" is an extremely anti-intellectual position.

Sure, in that it's overly simplistic, but it's an important part of Keynesianism. Anyone who doubts that is the thing to do in good economic times is by no means a Keynesian.
