So much for interest in the economy. One might think there was lots of meat for a discussion. Apparently not. Maybe folks are thinking Keynesian theory, in that, the economy will fix itself.
They tried super Keynesian methods and they failed, although no real discussion outside here (especially my posts:) on why they failed. Then Democrats ran out of time and public opinion went against increasing the debt enough to do another grand stimulus.
But in the liberal Krugman world, the stimulus should have be $3T not $800B. That might have got them through the 2010 election anyway.
If Obama win’s re-election he will inherit a real mess from himself in 2013.
