I don't read these measures as really Keynesian so much as a more productivist neoliberalism. He's not really building new government agencies as much as strengthening existing conduits of revenue flow into the private sector while simultaneously doing some basic FEMA-level disaster mitigation.
For example, look at the $1400 payment to everyone. Does that come with a protective measure that will prevent people from going over their annual income cap mandated by ObamaCare? Yeah, it's a new fiscal year so people won't need to worry as if this was coming in at the end of the year. But if anything this could push people out of Medicaid and into the private exchange system. At its core that is a neoliberal public-private partnership scheme that increases the pool of consumers for the private sector rather than de-comodifying a a good/service. Keynesianism is many things to many people but I always thought that de-comodification (at the very least, if not outright absorption by the public sector on the local, state, or national level) was a big component. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
