Deficit spending is Keynesian economics - not very conservative.

Tax cuts are hardly Keynesian. Keynes is used by the socialists to justify INCREASED SPENDING, never tax cuts.

TRICKEL-DOWN ECONOMICS

More stupid government-speak. The government views everything in terms of government. If you keep you own hard-earned money, the government thinks that's money that somehow the government allows to "trickle down" from government to you. What lunacy. Letting people keep their own hard-earned money is not "trickle -down", it's freedom. Less government is more freedom and unleashes the wealth-creating free market economy.

I see Galbraith is an elite Fabian Progressive socialist - a sort of economist version of George Bernard Shaw. Theoretically and historically, socialism creates poverty and failure.

Actually they are. The real Keynes was not a Keynesian. He advocated tax cuts and government spending only during times of deflationary crisis, like the Great Depression. He believed in balanced budgets otherwise. He was not a socialist. Many who have claimed his name are.
