Keynes will be vindicated when our debt is "sustainable." One of the obvious fatal flaws of Keynesianism is that politicians in a democracy are not responsible enough to save during the boom, nor do they make wise economic investments during the bust.

serious reply: it will be if it holds up and keeps going, but the "recovery" is very weak right now and there's a lot of hand wringing over what will happen when interest rates go up. jury is still out.

Just because the economy will marginally improve over time doesn't mean massive stimulus worked.

Reminder: economies naturally grow. Its what they do.

Not sure that QE can be described as bread and butter Keynesianism, and to be clear the actions of the Fed are vastly more important to the modestly improving growth we've seen than anything on the fiscal side.

there has been no labor force participation rate recovery, which is all that really matters from a social cohesion point of view.

it increases borrowing costs for the govt which discourages govt spending.

it drives down the value of existing bonds

it draws money out of the stock and real estate markets because it increases borrowing costs and becomes a more attractive alternative investment.

another wild card is the trillions of dollars of derivative bets which may or may not explode if interest rates rise.

i think it's a bit of a misunderstanding to say that rising IRs will lead to recession since there are many economists who think its a necessary condition for a real economic recovery. let's just say that our current model of economic "recovery" would collapse if interest rates began to rise.

Considering the fact that Krugman keeps calling for extremely large amounts of stimulus, I wouldn't call what has happened so far Keynesianism.

No, I do not think anywhere Keynes thought that propping up the bubble economy through unlimited pumping of money resulted in stability. Read some Stockman for fuck's sake.

Of course not. No Keynesian economic policies were implemented during the recession. Keynes never advocates giving money to banks, he advocated increased gov't hiring in massive public works programs. Duh.
