re: #303 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

True enough, but we’re contending with a very insidious and dishonest philosophy, namely “Starve the Beast.” Whose adherents believe that now is exactly the right time to be cutting spending, arguing that doing so is the “sign” that the economy is looking for before it will magically become healthy again.

That makes exactly zero sense. I think my brain shriveled in on itself just trying to think about it.
