So when has Keynesian economic theory ever worked?

And why is it a credible theory? Why are its “religious zealots” awarded Nobel Economic Prizes?

Our zero rate policy has been effectively a “tax” on savers and retirees for the benefit of speculators.

Savings = investment. Savings require higher interest rates.

Never. It isn’t. Politics.

Any other questions?

That would depend on what you mean by Keynesian economics. Animal spirits, consumer confidence, are ideas used by almost everyone now. And it was a recent Republican administration that went far beyond Keynes’ modest prescription by claiming that “deficits don’t matter”.
