If there was ever any doubt about where Barry Ritholtz places his loyalties the following may provide some enlightenment as he explains his relationship and respect for everyone's favorite economist (who actually is an economic reporter and not a real economist sort of like the channel seven weather girl who is not a meteorologist) :

From the Bloomberg housing stimulus article:

"A 2003 study of Keynesian policies in 91 countries performed by economists Antonio Fatás and Ilian Mihov and published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, concluded that, “governments that use fiscal policy aggressively induce significant macroeconomic instability.”

From now on, economic releases should have the following disclaimer in an opening footnote, “The economic roller coaster you are riding has been presented to you by your friendly neighborhood Keynesians.”"
