Good to see you posting again. I hope you and Andy had a good holiday season.

It sounds counterintuitive but government spending is exactly what we need now. Not forever, just long enough to pull us out of this ditch. Keynes was right. (He was not an advocate of wild spending, contrary to belief).

Debt is not the problem.

Eh, enough political bickering. We will never agree. What kind of stuff are you working on these days?
