...larger stimulus package, and another might be needed in a couple of years. By highlighting the goal of halving the deficit, Obama limits his ability to react to future crises. Obama’s economic policy, especially the stimulus package passed, shows a belief in the principles of Keynesian economics. Maynard Keynes himself once suggested that, to battle the Great Depression, we bury money underground and hire workers to dig it out. Hopefully, Obama’s policies to rejuvenate the economy are more useful than this, but his message should be closer to Keynes’s than...
...timing of this announcement may seem unwise in the midst of the current recession: Keynesian economics holds that the government should counter recessions with more, not less, spending. Given the sizeable federal spending that the administration has already approved, however, this announcement serves as a way to reassure the country that, despite the recession, the administration still has a long-term economic plan and is still committed to responsible fiscal policy...

The U.S. economic boom of the 1980s was at least partly the result of deficit spending. As financial crises battered much of the world in the 1990s, governments turned to tools devised by Keynes simply because other approaches didn't work. And behavioral economic research has since shown that most humans are awfully shortsighted...
