President Obama's Pledge Never to Raise Taxes on Anyone Making Less Than $250,000 a Year

I don't think you're understanding the humor in that Keynes quote...
Whatever you think about developmentalism (which began much earlier than '41 btw) the fact is that the strongest, most widely distributed period of growth in the history of this country occurred after and as a direct result of increased government intervention. And it wasn't just "leaders". Most of these policies were won through the struggles of working people. Economists always come after the fact.

The statement "100% Keynsian" could only strike you as odd if you thought I was referring to every single idea or policy position the man ever advocated, a supposition that would itself be ridiculous and show that you don't really care about understanding the point. "100% Keynesian" obviously refers to the basic premise that an efficient, productive and stable economy requires an interventionist state, which was indeed the post WWII orthodoxy.
"We're all Keynesians now" -Richard Nixon

What a shame Keynes was not born in in 1750.

Just think what his genius would have given America, if only it were to grace us then. American suffered as a economic backwater until 1941, Keynes, and our wise government leaders stepped in..




"100% Keynesian" This is ridiculous. The Fed cherry picked few politically expedient ideas from Keynes.

The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward. - John Keynes

Why? Have you actually looked at the bill? There is nothing in there about income tax increases for those under 250k. Wherever you're getting your information from is not serving you well my friend.

You obviously didn't pay any attention to the Obama campaign and don't know much about the legislation that is currently being debated. The plan he proposed back in '07 was objectively more progressive than either the House or Senate versions now being discussed and none of the three have any kind of income tax increase below the 250k bracket. Your numbers are also way off on cap and trade; the CBO says that in the worst case it'll be more like $100 and will decrease rapidly in subsequent years.
