Problem with Keynesian Economics: 1) People refuse to elect people who promise to raise taxes. Raising taxes in required for this process to work. 2) Officials will not decrease spending, because decreased spending means they don't get as much as they want into their district or the programs they support, and they will get them removed on the next election cycle. Keynesian Economics is a good concept, in concept, but its just one of those things that people *censored* up. Yes, the war did pull us out of recession, but FDR's programs did create jobs, and to get out of a depression you need jobs. FDR's programs did help. |
