    Should Mr. Obama choose, as is regrettably expected, to apply the FDR Keynesian model to our econimic problems, we had better plan to accept a ‘sadly necessary’ world war 6-10 years hence to accomplish what the Keynesian approach will certainly fail at just as the Keynesian model did in the 1930’s.

    I wasn’t aware that it was the job of the President to fix the economy. Aren’t fiscal matters the responsibility of the Congress?
