economics

I can’t say that I’m big fan of the Keynesian “let’s spend our way out of this recession.” stimulus ideas. That’s partly due to my feeling that some people spending some money isn’t going to make a whole lot of difference.

I heard it over and over leading up to this fall’s federal election. People were voting Conservative because of the economy.

It’s always been my understanding that one of the big draws to the Conservatives is their supposed sound economic policies. Over the last few evenings I’ve tried to find some balanced, non-partisan overview on the Harper government’s economic performance.

I came across a couple of articles which expose downright silliness (if you believe the authors to be correct) with the Conservative’s economic plan.
