[quote=4plexowner]”the redistribution is a “bridge” – so to speak – to better times”

spoken like a true Keynesian!

now tell me that the bridge money will be pulled back out of the economy once the ‘crisis’ is over – I always enjoy laughing out loud – it’s good for my health

unfortunately history has shown that the Keynesian bridges only prolong the financial agony and add significantly to the amount of financial pain everyone experiences – ask Japan how their economy has been doing for the past 20 years[/quote]

I’m with you on this one 4plex.

Government intervention has always been sold as a temporary “rescue”. However, the rescues become part of the budget so we’ve had rescues upon rescues, upon rescues.
