Boortz is really trying to pretend like he doesn't understand how government spending will stimulate the economy? Really? Has Boortz never heard of Keynesian Economics? Please.<br> <br> Clearly, Boortz's attempt to castigate Obama for following Keynesian policies completely leaves out a discussion of the actual intellectual, theoretical basis for those policies. Don't just tell us PEBO is wrong, tell us why! (Of course, Boortz can't because his post doesn't make any sense unless it's considered a blatant propaganda piece against PEBO for consumption by rubes that have a very shallow understanding of fiscal policy options - ie. most of you commenting on this thread).<br> <br> So fine, Boortz can spew his intellectually dishonest strawmen arguments all he wants. Luckily for all of you the adults are in charge now and will do what it takes to fix this economy.<br> <br> One last thing... It's not the government deciding how to spend your money, when it isn't your money in the first place, because the money they are spending doesn't really exist.<br> <br> And that's actually the point. Consumers cannot "stimulate" the economy because they are out of cash. They don't have any to spend. Without govt. borrowing, the economy will continue to slow to the point where our existing debt will be much harder to pay off.<br> <br> Oh, and our fractional reserve debt based fiat currency kind requires that we keep borrowing and borrowing to maintain our financial system. Once you understand that it's a bit liberating really....
