John Beagle is Critical of Keynesian Economics

John Maynard Keynes’ philosophies made a bad economic situation in the 1930’s worse by prolonging its recovery.  Keynesian economics was the philosophy of the Roosevelt Administration.  Keynes promoted huge increases in spending on social programs by federal governments. He believed that you could spend your way out of any economic downturn.

Keynesian’s believe the government is the solution to all problems and that big business is the cause of all that is evil and greedy. Keynesian’s by nature are liberal. Liberal in their views about lifestyle, capitalism, and government.

Hey thanks for posting this. I believe we are going down the wrong road today with mass spending. Didn't we learn the New Deal was a Bad Deal?

If you are one who believes that there is such a thing as a "free lunch" and that "the government" can "give" you ANYTHING, then NO, you have learned nothing from history. 
 
The "government" has NO MONEY!!!  The "government" can give you NOTHING...unless they first TAKE the means of providing it from someone else.
 
There are only two ways that the government can gain the means to "give" away things: 
 
One is by winning a war, and confiscating the wealth of the loser.
 
The other is by confiscating the wealth of its own citizenry.
 
I would welcome hearing from ANYONE who can educate me on any other plausible way.
