Keynes and Roosevelt are the world's spirit guides through this crisis, because in a crisis social democracy is what works.
Polly, Polly, Polly ...
I can't believe people actually pay her to write that shit.
Update: I guess I should have persevered. Her Grace, the Cuntess of Tuscany, wrote:
Even if unemployment reaches 3 million, that still leaves 90% in secure jobs. Most people will suffer not at all in this recession: on the contrary they will do well...
Can you imagine her righteous indignation if a Tory said that?

Does she also believe in a flat earth?
Keynes and FDR are very much our guides!
If we're heading away from them, then we're probably going in the right direction.
Here's a new game I play while reading such Leftie drivel. Sort of like "find Jimmy Hill in Viz". Try to spot answers to the following questions in any such article:
1. Who will pay for it?
2. Why should they pay for it?
3. How will behaviours change knowing this?
I've realised that those three questions are almost never even raised in Leftie talk, for the obvious reason that it brings the whole "free lunch" economic illusion crashing down. On the rare occasions they are addressed, the answers are always the same:
1. The rich ("rich" being code word for "anyone who earns more than me")
2. Because they can afford it
3. It won't. The world is beautifully static and the only changes are precisely the changes intended by government, as understood by talking their statements at face value.
Give it a try. The consistency of this approach is pretty stunning.
You know I am right, so fucking shut it.
There must be better things in life to do than read the Guardian
and especially Polly. Try the Dandy
or the Beano. Mind you it gives us
a baseline on which to compare the
BBC the Sun and the Mirror.
