Right Rakesh. But we still have to ask whether working people and the poor will be better off with more spending and jobs and less taxes or not. In the long run we need to think about alternatives to a system that just doesn't make sense, but in the meantime we need to think about how we can have less homeless and hungry, less financial stress for working people, less unemployment, etc. Keynesian spending will not remove the contradictions of capitlaism, but it may make things less worse--if the spending (and tax cuts) are targeted right, etc. Of course, my idea of a decent spending program may be nearly as utopian as socialist revolution, so if you're going to dream (big), why not dream big(ger)?
