You humble yourself for the spirit of new year yet you stress the reality of the country with the comics picture. Anyway, if it is the way you deliver the expression. Go ahead and good luck.

I would say let's just agree to disagree (what a joy!) on certain things, pick up one's brains to widen our perspective. After all, that's why blogging continues to exist, because of people who continue to stir our minds on different topics. Happy New Year to us all! This is my first time here.

Even Feldstein is resigned to the fact that only massive spending by governments will be able to reverse an economic collapse. In this he was unequivocal, and totally agreed with progressive economists like Paul Krugman. And when Feldstein was confronted with the conservative argument that Franklin Roosevelt didn't rescue the U.S. economy via his New Deal spending and that it was only World War II that finally led the U.S. into recovery, Feldstein retorted that FDR's New Deal programs actually allocated too little for a stimulus package. It should have been much more massive. So, following the example of Alan Greenspan, conservative economists are now implicitly admitting that the Reagan voodoo economics of self-regulation and tax cuts for the wealthy were all wrong. All this Ayn Rand philosophy of individuality and as little presence of government and regulations in everyday lives has been a hoax which, to my mind, was perpetrated and encouraged by wealthy Americans so that they would pay as little taxes as possible. Too bad the ordinary Joe Blow, like the ridiculous Joe the Plumber, really bought into that pack of lies and now he's the guy out of a home, out of a job and has his savings wiped out.
