What exactly is behind the aversion to the Keynesian solution to unemployment? [View All]

Tax cuts - Failed to boost employment.

Privatization - Failed to boost employment.

Handing out buckets of cash and other forms of corporate welfare to the rich and powerful - Failed to boost employment.

We've tried the right wing's ideas for years now, people are continuing to suffer.

Why not allow people to work, rebuilding roads, doing repairs to our crumbling infrastructure, etc. And if there's nothing else that can be done, just dig holes and fill them up again.

I think most of the "evil and lazy welfare queens" that conservatives keep whining about would actually be overjoyed if they were able to do this.

So, what exactly is the holdup? Should the rich and the corporations really be able to act as the gatekeepers for the American Dream?
