"Deficits don't matter."
Vice President Dick Cheney
Who are we to question the Vice President of the United States of America?
Yep...Cheney was just spouting the Keynesian line,
Gosh, I studied Keynes in college... and do not remember that at all. Maybe you have a reference.
My understanding was that the Cheney's ideas emerged as a perversions of the already perverted ideas of "supply Side Economics." At the time of all the supply side hoopla... no one... especially it's proponents ... characterized these ideas as Keynesian. And in fact proponents of Keynesian economics did not support the supply side scam.
So, here we go round again. Any time some neo-conservatista does something stupid... it is because he is actually following socialist principals. Apparently conservatives are unable to make mistakes on their own. I mean... ultimately Bush was only following the logical extension of Clinton policies in Iraq... So in the end, Iraq is really just another a liberal boondoggle.
In the end, there is one thing you have to admire about conservatives... they are really into taking responsibility. Bush (the decider) only does what the military tells him to do in Iraq. And he only went in there in the first place because our intelligence told him we had to. Blah Blah Blah
