Chickens roosting, and such

Stocks skid on renewed fears of global slowdown

Which is exactly why fiscal and economic policy, like individual investments, should be based on their merits and not on the propaganda.

The stimulus and Keynesian economics failed. They were a well-meaning effort to jumpstart the economy and to help people by funding programs that are government sponsored. But it failed. And will continue to fail until we deal with the underlying issues of what government can be trusted to care for more effectively and what matters need to be addressed by peoples' free consciences.

And that will not get unravelled until we choose better policies. Namely ones that affirm more genuinely liberal commitments. And more genuinely liberal economics. And freedom, more broadly.

And if you don't believe that. Keep at it. And keep living with the consequences.

Because the most awesome and undeniable fact of bullshit as policy is that it keeps dragging everyone down until we face up.

And no amount of spin and propaganda will ever be able to make that go away. Ever. No matter how much we cry otherwise.

The chickens are coming home to roost. But someone needs to tell Malcolm that radical isn't on the menu tonight.
