This is the thinking flaw the followers of Keynes make. After World War 2 there was much less government spending, yet the economy grew faster then ever before. This is very conflicting with the theory of Keynes.

World War 2 destroyed infrastructure, lives etc. and it did not cure the great depression. Instead of creating real wealth(Demand of the consumer), United States just made tanks and had to ration food etc.

Not sure if you fully understand what Keynesian is because nothing you said points to any flaws or conflicts within Keynes theories. All he said was in the absence of private spending the government can step in and spend the money itself until the economy picks up back again. It isn't an indefinite measure so I don't see how anything you said here makes any sense.

It's the reason Socialism fails, big government will result in corruption and benefits for the few.
Waaah? What does big government have to do with socialism? Socialism=worker control of the means of production at it's very core that is all it is.


Esf_Newbie what? True Democracy is without election's?

Or did you mean something else?
I didn't say without, what i meant to say elections doesn't mean a democratic society. We've seen here in the US how the political system is used to benefit wall street and theres nothing we can do about it. Tea party and especially OWS are in response to that frustration. Theres a quid pro quo in Washington between corporations and politician. Campaign contributions yield favorable economic policies for the contributors. That's not democratic, that corporatocracy. And it really upsets me when people fail to see this.
