re: #513 RogueOne

I’m not sure where you’re getting numbers showing how it was working during the ‘30’s. The argument for why it didn’t work is the same one we’re hearing today, that we didn’t spend enough money.

Luckily during the 40’s we did spend enough money what with how the government had to pay all the people it was drafting into the army.

And lo and be hold, when the MASSIVE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT of having to pay everyone in the army we drafted, and the MASSIVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING on tanks, planes and ships, were injected into the economy and the dust settled lo and behold the great depression was but a memory…

Doesn’t this qualify as a clear victory for Keynesian economics?
