>"Libertarian Turned Keynesian" Responds  - Mish - Global Economic Analysis
This is more of the same type of faulty logic that I hear espoused by those who apparently cannot think critically (and are typically promoted by the media as "economic experts")--Government can create GDP "out of thin air" just by printing pieces of paper (or some variation thereof). It's inherently ridiculous, and anyone with a modicum of mental agility or intellect should be able to shred the argument. Unfortunately, it's seldom done because of the nature of those who promote such ideas--it's almost always done as a reason to enlarge our already bloated government, by working to convince the ignorant or benighted that the government should control everything, or that the thought of the same is actually a good thing. Based on that line of thinking (taken to the ridiculous), the Fed should just print off enough money so that all of us could just buy whatever we want, whenever we want it, and everything will be just fine. We can create GDP out of thin air, and all the world's problems are now solved.

Thank you sir, for your article.
