This has been the default position of every administration in my lifetime. If times are bad, we need stimulus. If times are good, we can spare the cash to goose the growth.<p>Headline could be “Trump Agrees with Keynes: In the Long Run, We’re All Dead.”
Disclaimer: I am not American, just an observer from afar. This story kind off explains why some people would vote for him (I am not saying I would vote for him). He appears to tell the truth. As someone who sits in a number of meetings in a corporate company listening to people proposing/talking about things they have will never implement. Trump can sound refreshing. How many times do executives pay lip service to operational issues and nothing is done. Until the system crashes then something will be done about it.
