In a rational world he would have been aptly punished for his misplaced concern of paying off a deficit that he could have predicted to rise. - Bart Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:06:38 +0100 In the Long Run, We Are All Dead http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/remeber-when-alan-greenspan-was-worried-that-we-would-pay-off-the-debt-too-quickly#comment-14765 Focusing on long-term budget projections when unemployment is still near record highs nearly 3 years into the recovery is exactly what is wrong with economics and politics in the U.S. today. We need to solve the problems in front of us, not worry about 10 or 20 years down the road. But we don't do that because the Anti-Keynesian "solutions" on the table for dealing with today's problems are self-defeating, as the EU is proving on a daily basis. We should be taking advice from the Commie Keynesians in China on how to revive our economy. Their biggest concern is too much growth! - Paul Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:40:19 +0100 Funniest sentence I've read in a while http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/remeber-when-alan-greenspan-was-worried-that-we-would-pay-off-the-debt-too-quickly#comment-14759 "That concern turned out to be somewhat misplaced." Of all the actual things Greenspan could have been concerned about: housing bubble, bank insolvencies, mortgage fraud, he worried about our paying off the debt too soon. How did he achieve the status he held? - Jim Caserta Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:41:24 +0100
