[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] It's not a simple black and white issue. If you are deep in debt and struggling and your car, the one you need to get to work, dies.  Do you say "I can't afford any more debt, so I will just not go to work and hope the car heals?  Or do you suck it up and incur a little more debt to fix the car so you can still get to work? The real question is do you replace the car, which would be a lot more debt, or do you do the cheapest repair possible to minimize the debt while still investing in the car repair. A responsible person does the cheaper repair.  A person who chooses no more debt is just as irresponsible as the one who chooses to buy a new car. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Well yes, I agree with your car example and its context.  Spending a little money in order to make money, when you are short of money is often the wisest course of action.   But that is not what Keynesian economics is as it pertains to our economic stimulus policy.  <o:p></o:p> The analogy to our economic stimulus policy would be like this:  You don’t have much money, and your car needs be replaced so you can go to work and make more money.  So you somehow get the credit to buy the most expensive car you can find, and that transaction makes you so wealthy that you don’t have to work. So you take an expensive vacation and get even wealthier.
