ROTFLMAO!!!

Frederick E. Hayek's book "The Road to Serfdom" should be REQUIRED reading for all citizens.

J.M.Keynes' theories should only be taught in Economics schools as a lesson in "this is how it SHOULDN'T be done"...

Keynes' theories were extensions of the theories of Thomas Malthus. The same Malthus who was an ardent eugenicist, influenced Darwin's theory of "natural selection", and helped the British government develop the slums and food distribution plans in London for the factory workers at the beginning of the industrial revolution. He posited that the housing for these workers should be build in the most swampy, wet parts of London and their food supply should be kept at a bare subsistence level, so there would be more disease and illness, thereby keeping them in poor health and limiting lifespan so they would die off before reaching retirement age...

Keynes was a Fascist of the worst stripe and a eugenicist. He is a "darling" of the Anglo-American "ruling elite" for good reason--his theories validate their continued existence and unbridled expansion of "power over."

I laugh every time I see this.

The problem with Keynes' theories is that under the right circumstances they do work. Short term thinking, in economics or in politics, causes more problems down the road than it solves in the short term.
