how could anyone have had the opinion that keynesian economics are a good idea? it's obviously totally deranged bullshit that implementing it requires a truly wicked mind.
@bonifartius Just narcissistic power hungry control freaks... Keynes basically gave the politicians a tool to steal indiscriminately without anyone being the wiser.... well, many were and it has taken a long time to indoctrinate a few generation to "free stuff from government" before unleashing the full potential.
Since the "wicked mind" of the politicians are, by definition, self-delusional of "I know best".

well, i came to the conclusion that governmental money is a resource which has to be exploited as best as possible while at the same time minimizing the amount of tax payed. it's just an optimization problem :)
@bonifartius Well, "minimizing tax" is not a goal. "Getting re-elected" and "avoid rebellion" are concrete goals in so called democracies.
@niclas sure, i was just talking about my personal strategy :)
@bonifartius
- inflation eats the debt away (lol fuck'em)
The second one is an reverse Keynes:
- They, the market, paid Switzerland and some Cantons money to hold their money (neg. yield) -> the more we spent, the more we got paid doing so
You would be a fool not to accrue debt exactly in this moment. Now inflation eats away this already shrunken debt and the infrastructure is built...
