Bogus Recovery: Accumulated GDP vs Accumulated Debt

If the Keynesian claims are true (that the deficit stimulus spending is getting us out of the recession) we are screwed.

Screwed, screwed, screwed.



Yes, that multiplier (assuming a Keynesian cause) would be way less than 1.0.  I am ever so glad we taxed and/or borrowed for so little effect.

Also, note the Y-axis scale for all four recessions.

Don't worry, it's in the GDP.  Just not ours. =D
