In the interest of giving you food for thought (assuming you are a thinker and not a politician) Paul Krugman (a mostly-Keynesian economist, and a Nobel Prize winner) had a column that points out some very serious problems in an economic paper whose conclusions have been used verbatim and with almost no analysis by the extreme 'cut deficits at all costs' gang - Republicans in the US who want the money to resume flowing to their "one percenter" benefactors, but also other political types around the world as well.
Me? I'm mostly with George Bernard Shaw on this one - "If all the economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion.".
Keep on thinking!
