About NewsBusters.org
Welcome to NewsBusters, a project of the Media Research Center (MRC), the leader in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias.

In August of 2005, with the assistance of Matthew Sheffield of Dialog New Media, the MRC launched the NewsBusters blog to provide immediate exposure of liberal media bias, insightful analysis, constructive criticism and timely corrections to news media reporting.

Taking advantage of the MRC's thorough and ongoing tracking of liberal media bias, including a wealth of documentation and an archive of broadcast and cable news recordings dating back to 1987, NewsBusters plays a leading role in blog media criticism as a clearinghouse for evidence of liberal media bias. It combines this formidable archive and its compilers inside the MRC with the contributions of already-established netizen watchdogs.

He called it a death panel as a joke.

Anyone watching who has more than three braincells can tell, its no surprize you couldnt.

It's well known, amongst people who know their economic stuff, that Keynesians are closet eugenicists.

It's well know, among people who know their economic stuff, that Oddball is completely and utterly full of shit.

Keynes was a proponent of eugenics, having served as Director of the British Eugenics Society from 1937 to 1944. As late as 1946, before his death, Keynes declared eugenics to be "the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists."

John Maynard Keynes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Maynard Keynes was treasurer of the Cambridge University Eugenics Society during its early years, in addition to his involvement with other societies. What is interesting is that there appears to be no mention in biographies of his connection with the Cambridge University Eugenics Society. (???) The fact that he was treasurer and not just a member of the Society indicates that he had a keen interest in being involved. He was also a Council Member of the Eugenics Society in London from 1937-1944 and gave the Galton Lecture in 1937 on "Some Consequences of a Declining Population".

Welcome to the closet, Mr. Closetcase.

It always amuses me to see those who are so afraid of the power of Big Corporations, which are dwarfed by Big Government, advocate for concentrating more unfettered power into Even Bigger Government.

It's even worse than that.

They refuse to recognize that it's big corporate gubmint that in fact charters corporations and gives them their limited liabilities, yet loudly proclaim that the only way to reign in corporate abuse of power is to give big gubmint even more power to sell.

Nuttier than fruitcakes, I tell ya!

Welcome to the closet, Mr. Closetcase.

You said that Keynesians are closet eugenicists. Nothing in the above says anything about Keynesians who are eugenicists, closet or otherwise.

Don't worry, I didn't expect any better.

8537 confirms the blind ignorance of Keynes Worship.

You're in for a penny, you're in for a pound.

Eugenics is merely the natural destination of the kind of central authoritarian control it takes to bring about the Keynesian Utopia...Which explains why like the Roosevelts, neocon truds William Cohen and PNAC are attracted to eugenics as well.

Or, in this case, your dead for over half a century.

Tell us about this Keynesian utopia, Tom. What does it look like? Where did he describe it?

It's been official for some time, Paul Krugman is a fucking idiot.

It would behoove you to read up on the philosophy you support:

“I see us free, therefore, to return to some of the most sure and certain principles of religion and traditional virture-that avarice is a vice, that the exaction of usury is a misdemeanour, and the love of money is detestable, that those walk most truly in the paths of virtue and sane wisdom who take least thought for the morrow. We shall once more value ends above means and prefer the good to the useful. We shall honour those who can teach us how to pluck the hour and the day virtuously as well, the delightful people who are capable of taking direct enjoyment in things, the lilies of the field who toil not, neither do they spin.”

New Currency - A Blog by Jordan MacLeod


John Maynard Keynes addressed this issue in 1930, in his little essay “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren.” Keynes predicted that in 100 years – that is, by 2030 – growth in the developed world would, in effect, have stopped, because people would “have enough” to lead the “good life.” Hours of paid work would fall to three a day – a 15-hour week. Human beings would be more like the “lilies of the field, who toil not, neither do they spin.”

Keynes’s prediction rested on the assumption that, with a 2% annual increase in capital, a 1% increase in productivity, and a stable population, average standards of living would rise eight times on average. This enables us to work out how much Keynes thought was “enough.” GDP per head in the United Kingdom in the late 1920’s (before the 1929 crash) was roughly £5,200 ($8,700) in today’s value. Accordingly, he estimated that a GDP per capita of roughly £40,000 ($66,000) would be “enough” for humans to turn their attention to more agreeable things.

Western Europe with its declining work weeks, shrinking native populations, and burgeoning entitlements is the natural result of striving for a Keynsian Utopia. And The One embraces the "at some point you've made enough" nonsense.

It's tacit in the proclamations of Keynesians, every time one of their half-baked theories meets up with actual reality of the capriciousness of humans, subsequently blowing up in their faces.

"Oh, if we had only commandeered more of the marketplace and printed up more money out of thin air, then things would be better!"

Of course, when things turn around --like they always do in the end-- Keynesians run around claiming all the credit.

After a couple exchanges, I'm always reminded that you've never read a word of Keynes in your life, nor do you know an objective an honest thing about Keynesian economics. You know only what the anarcho's told you to repeat.

It's clear 8537 suffers from the Heartbreak of Economic Illiteracy.

Quite frankly, if I were to discover that the likes of Hayek, von Mises, Friedman and/or Skousen were even slightly interested in eugenics as a serious and legitemate scientific pursuit, I'd be more than a tad skeptical of their ideas in other areas....But they're not.

But then again, none of them are the authoritarian central controller type, either.

So if you were to learn that von Mises was a pedophile you'd sweep all of his beliefs away?

As opposed to what? Our own Milton Friedman, Laissez-Faire, defacto Plutocracy which also is experiencing a shrinking population, along with our corporate demigods sneaking in cheap labor or exporting jobs?

And to what end? A near collapse of the world wide economy as we know it? To benefit 2% of our population?

This socialism for the rich..really really sucks.

The U.S. has been heavily impacted by Progressive Policies for over a century. We are reaping what they have sewn.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Paul Krugman has affirmatively...

yeah let us spend bazzillions on technology and drugs for the last couple of years of grandpapa's life to keep him maybe going for another couple of months.

ever visit nursing homes and other facilities with these old people kept going?

It's unnatural.

no dignity there...
