Original article: Did you hear FDR prolonged the Great Depression?

Tear up your Keynsian textbooks!

This inane article makes my blood boil. The author quotes a bunch of Keynsian hacks (Krugman and Bernake) as though the lies they spew are the gospel.

When the government "stimulates" the economy, it is drawing on resources and capital from the productive part of the economy to waste on its own inefficient pet projects. Jobs created by the "stimulus" will destroy jobs in the productive parts of the economy.

This video will set you straight.
