Message:: [QUOTE="oval_man, post: 2735108, member: 22602"]C'mon, Sakata, your entire comment reeks of conspiracy theory and your last paragraph of condescension. Who are the "Keynesians" you broadly refer to? The Fed? Certain members of Congress? University faculty? Who are the "powers that be"? Are they the same as above? Then why not identify them? And how can they "not realize" what they themselves are doing? What "secret" do they fear getting out? Alternative views of the Keynesian model? Such views are readily available with a simple google search; how could they possibly be considered "secret"? Btw, the "powers that be" for the past six years in our Senate and House have adamantly opposed any kind of "Keynesian solution" to our economic malaise such as investing in our infrastructure while rates have been low. The "anti-Keynesians" have effectively already been in control. Furthermore, I find your claim ridiculous that your wife is not familiar with the term "Keynesian economics" despite "knowing the material." UVA is a top-rung school, one of the "public ivies." (I lived in Richmond for many years and am quite familiar with UVA and all the Hoos in Hooville. An old girlfriend got her Master's there.) And yet your wife's faculty never "gave it a name" in order to shield her from "alternative views"? How could these claims possibly have any validity? With respect to your last paragraph, I completely agree: people who fail to consider the other side of any issue tend to be "narrow-minded." I would add that people who presume to know the minds of others are also such.[/QUOTE]
