Seriously, I thought it was a joke when I first heard this quoted, but then I went to http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/opinion/06gross.html and discovered that this rocket scientist, Daniel Gross, actually did write, "The renewed willingness and confidence to spend money we don’t have is vital to the continuing recovery."
It is hard to believe such a backwards belief will get us anywhere except deeper into the toilet boil around which we're already swirling. What kind of idiotic blather are these Keynesian economists going to continue to spout? It really does blow my mind.
