		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Alistair Darling and Lord Mandelson (on Today and Sky News respectively) both used the same phrase to explain their opposition to stopping the National Insurance increase. They both said that it would &#8220;take money out of the economy&#8221;. Let&#8217;s examine that claim. 1. On what planet is giving money back to the people and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty much universally accepted that in order to bring down HUGE public sector borrowing (roughly 60% of GDP according to the OECD) the government needs to increase its bank balances, either by spending cuts or by raising taxes, or a combination thereof. I don&#8217;t pretend to understand macroeconomics and I&#8217;ll leave to to others [...]]]></description>

Woods, Jr explaining in laymen&#8217;s terms why stimulus spending prolongs recessions, why artificially low interest rates start and prolong recessions, and why anyone who thinks that economies need to be &#8220;stimulated&#8221; or that the problem with low interest rates is that they cause [...]]]></description>

In March, I wrote about a lecture by Kevin Dowd on how using existing bankruptcy law would have been much better than bailing out the banks. Now, here is an article by Professor Jeffrey A.

I don&#8217;t wish to make this ad hominem, but his article is a such farrago of his typical economic and historical ignorance (not to mention rudeness) that I hardly know where to start.
