>>Keynes's ideas influenced Franklin D. Roosevelt's view that insufficient buying-power caused the Depression. During his presidency, he adopted some aspects of Keynesian economics, especially after 1937, when, in the depths of the Depression, the United States suffered from recession yet again.<<

The depths of the Depression was supposed to be 1932, I believe.

This administration is all about shell games. Not enough good recruits? Lower the standards. Problem solved.

Still not filling recruit quotas? Lower the quotas. Problem not solved? Lower them more. Ah, you see! Problem solved!

Spending over the limit? Raise the limit. Problem solved.

Major combat not over more than 3 years after declaring it--not even started yet? Call it "the long war."

No WMDs? Tell them we did it for democracy.

Tell them we don't engage in torture while demanding the right to torture.

Deficit huge? Tell them Clinton did it.

Response to Katrina virtually non-existent for several days? Tell em, "You're doin a heckuva job, Brownie!"

I mean, this isn't even a good shell game. This is a badly-botched, amateurish, badly rehearsed shell game. Yet,the public seems to still be somehow impressed with it. God, it's scary.
