Crossing The Keynesian Streams: Broken Windows And Gushing Liquidity All In One

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Clearly, what US GDP needs is more not less epic snowstorms such as what this house in upstate New York just experienced, because where else do you get the twin Keynesian GDP-boosting fallacies of broken windows and gushing zero velocity liquidity all rolled into one Ghostbusters reference?

As of this posting it was unclear if Paul Krugman had put in a bid for this economically-stimulating house, or if he was waiting for an alien invasion first.

Crossing the streams is bad, very bad. Unless your ten and having a pee sword fight with your best friend. That's just good humored fun.

Unfortunately, the story to fit this sensational headline has not turned up yet.

Keynesians love broken windows! Now GDP will go up up and away, on a Hippy smoke cloud of happy thoughts, until WWIII that is.

That place looks like a banker's house after the police show up for a noise complaint, and everyone ditches their stash out on the back patio.  And WTF is that on the bottom left?  A sheep?

Well, if it's a banker's house that sheep might not be out of place...

Hey is Tyler ever gonna fix this? >>>>>>>>>>

The ''sponsored financial content'' on the right side of the screen always covers people's comments as I scroll down. Very annoying!

Somebody upstairs really hates Al Gore.

I just wish he would also do something about that Whitehouse tenant as well.

This was a record (or certainly near record) snow storm.  And he actually did predict wild weather changes like this if you bothered to read what he said, which was merely a repetition of what a lot of scientists have been saying.  You have to distinguish between science and what politicians do to exploit it.  In any event, down away Drudgies.

Paraphrasing an old friend:

Imagine an island with a vibrant economy that uses rare seashells as its medium of exchange. One day tsunami arrives and destroys most of the island's infrastructure while at the same time washing ashore a substantial number of new seashells. An Austrian economist would call it a disaster. A Keynesian economist would declare it a new age of prosperity.

That's going to be a cold night for whoever lives there.  Hopefully there's an adjoining room with a door they can insulate.  Burrrr.

I'm thinking that with those crappily constructed windows, it was just a matter of time. Who has windows like these? Even my garage has better windows. Oh, and I think that's a big fat furry DOG and not a sheep in the lower left corner of the shot.

If only they had installed a deadbolt up top, those French Doors would not have given way.

FEWER snowstorms, not less.

 

A friendly reminder from the grammar police.

I was so annoyed I posted before I saw you had beat me to it!

Well done. I hear this error all the time on the  lame stream media as well.

What happened to proofreaders and editors?

What happened to poofeeders and editors?...

 

The US executive branch signed most of these folks into the department of indoctrinat...er education composing our majesty's historical narratives and proclamations.  Their latest contributions to the english language have been the coining of the infinitive verbs "to Corzine" and "to Gruber". 

Dear Leader is still contemplating the next Czar to head up his new Department of Media Silence, the top candidate is rumored to be Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.

I wonder if this is what the architects of all those chemtrails and weather control devices were after. Drought in the nations breadbasket and arctic storms across the northeast.

Fuking all knowing all seeing egomaniacal shadow government.

"Clearly, what US GDP needs is more not less epic snowstorms..."

No, we need "fewer" snowstorms!

We need "less" snow.

I see this error EVERYWHERE. Do they not teach proper grammer anymore? Or is this like everything else in today's world...ANY way you want to do something is OK? It's your "right" don't ya know.

I feel better now.

I'm done :)
