Nope, simply the point that JMK, a childless gay bon vivant, had a psychological world view tending toward live for today, live for myself, the hell with others, and especially the hell with future generations.

Is this so hard for you to fathom?

It’s just a shame he was able to peddle his BS to politicians, eager for a cornucopian solution, where today’s deficits will always be repaid on somebody else’s watch long in the future.

The future is now, and the bill must be paid.

I fathom that you once again prove you don't know of what you speak.

Here is a for instance.

Keynes worked for the British Treasury during WWI. He was an advisor at the Versailles Peace Conference. Three days before the treaty was signed, he released a book, The Economic Consequences of the Peace. He presciently saw the treaty as a settlement of political grudges that ignored the problem of restarting the European economy.

Keynes was the first to point out the problems and recommend a revision. It took some personal bravery to publicly criticize the government he served. He was concerned about the future of Europe and offered solutions.

So please, stop showing your ass.
