Exactly so. No matter how much failure and sorrow leftism produces, the left always blames it on someone else. If ever there were a clear case of a failure of Keynesian economics, the last four years has been it. All the left can say is "We did not go far enough left!"
We are not seeing “Keynesian” economics. Keynes never proposed chronic deficits and unbalanced budgets. What passes for Keynesian ideas around here is about as far from what Keynes actually believed and wrote as one can get.
I would bet that not one in a thousand who remarks on Keynes has ever read his major work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. While certainly there are mistakes in his analysis and Milton Friedman does a good job of exposing them, Keynes would not recognize his theories as claimed to exist.
I suspect a lot of Obama supporters will vote for Change. If not change for the country’s sake, then change so they have someone to blame for their troubles.
