    It does seem a bit absurd we ever called ourselves Keynesians. Its like we are constantly reliving Irving Fishers debt-deflation theory, and we keep allowing new asset bubbles to form. Though I think governments are equally complicit, because obviously rapid debasement allows a lot of unfunded spending, which are what voters are always pining for.
