MR KEYNES BREAKTHROUGH EXPERIMENT
.

Cats can now walk on the ceiling
The masses will find this appealing
And with this distraction
Keynes flew into action
To stimulate Kleptocrat stealing

The Limerick King

 

MIND OF A KEYNESIAN (Revised)

 

The morons who venerate Keynes
Have somewhat remarkable brains
Instead of IQ
It's loaded with goo
That runs out whenever it rains

The Limerick King

.
BEN BERNANKE 2020

Benny has seen better days
Gone are his Keynesian ways
After the crash
He only had cash
He's now hoping charity pays

price stability and employment? through infinite
growth and everlasting stable energy supply with
no need to change fuel sources and associate infrastructure revolution / that is devaluation and
deflation of assets become liabilities or scrap,
fed dreaming in fantasy land.
.
by the time unemployment is down to 7% the financial
war will have wiped out india, china and all of europe
through inflation, then the jobs may come back to
the usa. it is a globalists parity dream which is
the nightmare of the people of the world. i guess
the first rule in financial war is to have the
biggest guns and use them aggressively and everyone
not in your camp and in support of your weapon
is the enemy and to be leveled while the money for
fraud based securities swap accelerates through helicopter deliveries. key figures in the global array will be paid
off and become unpopular in their locals and struggle
to remain in influential position, that is happening
and will probably become more common. the illegitimacy
of the money system translated to illegitimacy of the
political representation of global members/parties.
same old story ongoing. makes one wonder who is the
identified enemy in the 'FINANCIAL WAR' ? the victim?
the generals? people assume the lines are drawn on
a national basis, perhaps it is along a class basis?
could be.

" the slowest people in the world are economists, with few exceptions,
they just don't learn. they think we're so dumb because we haven't
learned to do what they tell us to do, which is the theory and therefore
true." ...
.." when did saving a bank become more important than
saving a country? or its citizens? when did social scientists, tenured
professors begin to believe that the source of legitimacy in a democracy
wasn't you citizens but was administration and commercial contracts?

.... why are personal debts and state debts wrapped up in cheap, romantic
christian moralizing, while private sector debt is just utilitarian stuff?
what is that differentiation?"

why does a healthy society mean a society which is stimulated to consume,
which is a very uninteresting idea of civilization to be polite.
so , we are in an era when power.... and thinking are not equated,
there is almost no relationship in the developed economies, democracies, between power
and
thought. ...... it's an era when managers and most politicians don't read, the most
they can read
is maybe a 2- 3 page briefing paper which isn't written in any known language. except
for
managerial ism, so it is not something that could have any effect because it is
meant to be dead language. and the result of that is that we slip into this sort of
passive
idea of stability and continuity and we lose this idea of choice , the fundamental choice
central to democracy" ........ jrs

the purpose of money today is to facilitate parasitism
and cannibalism while as few people as possible are
made aware of the nature of these facts and acts.

the failure of the system comes about when the fraudulent
nature of the inducement of the debts becomes apparent,
that is now, thereby rendering the value of the debts
null, the money becomes worthless or unreliable as
a measure of anything that is important. the institutions that demand it become consumed by their
own irrelevance; could be happening.

Really? Are you really that simple-minded? Or was your decision to throw out a red herring conscious? Context matters.

Banzai didn't set out to write a treatise on the finer points of Keynesianism. Stick around long enough, and open your mind, and you may see that Banzai clearly understands that Bernanke, like Keynes, believed that it is the role of government allied with a central bank to try to "stimulate" economic activity during economic downturns, and that that is absurd and only serves to prop up malinvestment, with the winners in that destructive game of pillaging being the moneyed elites. That is the whole point, or context, here.

Banzai's intent was not to explain what is irrelevant in the context of this post, but which you may be alluding to: The essential difference between Keynes and Bernanke is that Keynes advocated doing it via taxes and Bernanke with deficit spending by government, which makes Bernanke a bigger fool and a lot less honest and far more dangerous.

And what the hell does the "tea party" have to do with anything? Maybe you should consider changing your tag to HuffPoBoi.

Despite you getting -6 for your comment, you are correct in your comment.

WB has a gift for photoshopping (whatever) but is clueless about economics, aside from knee-jerk Tea Party and/or Libertarian rhetoric about how there should be no government - at an extreme.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, it's a fact that if governments did not spend tax dollars on this and that, then millions more would be unemployed.

If a government had not funded the development of computers and the internet, then WB would have nothing to do.

Personally I wish that govenments did not fund the military/industrial (fascist) complex, but millions of workers would be unemployed if the US government was to stop funding for war.

Sorry Wiliam, but you DO apparently lack an understanding of Keynes who, for all his faults, NEVER advocated deficit spending.

No matter what your opinion is about government intervention in an economy, Keynes advocated taxing during good times and then spending the proceeds during bad times.

Since Ronnie Raygun, Keynes ideas have never been followed, e.g. Dubya cut taxes and plunged the economy into decline.

You have zero credibilty on economic matters.

You are right, I'm not a Keynesian PhD.

But I'm sick and tired of listening to them.

I'm also sick and tired of the apologists who insist that their collective theories about the wonders of wealth generation through stimulus, monetary intervention and unproductive spending have never reached true fruition because they have never been properly implemented.

I'm sick and tired of listening to self important PhD (as in pig headed) morons who think borrowing money you can't pay back and spending it on an abundance of useless junk is the panacea to our economic problems...who then look in disdain at the "ignorant fools" who have the nerve to think otherwise.

But most of all I'm sick of listening to morons tell me I have it all wrong when it is plainly obvious that the men of economic letters are in complete disagreement amongst themselves.

If you and the newbie think WilliamBanzai7 started the "anti-Keynesian" meme, then you haven't got a clue what is going on. You want to know who started it?

The Keynesians.

Sorry, your version of "economic credibility" is something I want nothing to do with.

may I? Keynesianism and Neo-Keynesianism differ on that itsy weeny detail about "saving first for the bad years" vs. "just spend!". 

the two differ also in the fact that the first doctrine was geared for a gold-backed economy while the second is meant for a fiat-environment.

But for everyday use it's becoming common to talk about Keynesianism and meaning the other. IMHO a pity.

WB7, I fully understand that you have no patience for those who like to make a difference, though I suspect that if you will hopefully live a long (and hopefully happy) life you might come to a stage where you will be quite upset when people generalize about points you find worthy - from your own experience...

I spend my time playing with and subverting images, symbols, metaphors, memes etc. that are cultural, political and economic footprints left by others.

I'm sure you will appreciate that the word "Keynesian" has come to denote a prevalent economic ideology. I did not create this legacy which is rightfully or wrongfully attrubutable to Keynes the man. There are plenty of PhD types and pundits who spend a great deal of time arguing about this and a quick spin on google will confirm this.

I play the memes. And like it or not, there is a Keynesian meme in the current economic narrative. There is no point in me portraying Ben Bernanke as a fanatical follower of Ralph Cramdenism. ;-)

Having said that, I have noticed that the acolytes of Keynes seem to spend an inordinate amout time defending the intellectual honor of their paragon; instead they should spend more time attacking the serial money printers, stim freaks and purveyors of endless debt who practice central planning and intervention under the zeitgeist or cover of "Keynsian economics."

But you won't find much of that. Usually they simply accuse the central planners of botching tactics or not doing enough.
