Paul Krugman writes column after column in the New York Times arguing the current worldwide depression is due to an overall general lack of "demand," as opposed to structural imbalances in the economy. Thus, he argues, the way to "cure" the problem is for the government to throw buckets of newly printed money at it and magically things will turn around.
It is thinking like this used to justify Bill English the Greek’s borrowing of one-hundred million dollars a week.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
