Opinion of Keynesian Economics

[The Self]

We are (still) all Keynesians now. Even monetarism is just a flavor of Keynesianism. Its one acceptable capitalist alternative, goldbuggery, is profoundly stupid.

Why don't you like the gold standard?

Because it's the kind of policy that appeals to downscale libertarian (Paulbot) types, but would absolutely decimate business interests, and consequently the economy, if actually enacted.

What is good for business is almost by definition the only good. And gold isn't.

You're an advocate of the military-industrial complex and the Fed's destruction of the common person's means of savings, then?

I'm an advocate of capitalism, which the re-introduction of the gold standard would destroy in short order.

Do you accept the status quo?
If not how would you improve it?
If yes, why do you accept the status quo? Do you have a person in Washington or the state house now? That's what it's coming to. 'We need to get in the game' is what they are saying or else.

I'm not a retard who postures as anti-establishment when I'm not. Being a gold standard Paulbot doesn't make you a rebel.
