"And yet, the Keynesians shall remain unmoved. As the saying goes, you cannot convince a man of something when his livelihood depends on his not believing it. Dems get elected because their base believes that progressive hogwash too. If liberal politicians started spouting economic sense, their constituents would give them the boot. Thank the MSM and the teachers' unions for that. "

A classic case of facts versus liberal dogma. (more accurately... liberal dog merde)

 

The liberal intellectual elite are too smart to let facts and reality get in the way of what they already know.
