Of course to Karl Rove, Keynes would be a "cowardly flip-flopper". The
current Masters of the Universe, i.e. GW Bush, D Cheney, B Bernanke, S

then cook the books and hope it will go
away. I am sure all these gentlemen truly want
world-wide peace, prosperity, democracy and well-being (and
American leadership but in a uniformly prosperous world who could object to
that?)
These people truly cannot imagine why everyone in the world does
not agree with them and see their vision and embrace
their ideology. That's why they have to
believe that "there is such a thing as evil" and such other nonsense.
there's got to be a better term than "idiots." My father used to go on
& on about the differences (in IQ), between idiots, imbeciles, and
morons, so it rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, it's too much of a
psychological/individualistic concept. Arguably, Bush is a
psychological idiot (though I think he's just a spoiled rich kid with
dyslexia), but Bernanke and Cheney aren't. I don't know Miller.
