KRAUTHAMMER: …you conducted a Keynesian experiment – here’s the argument – and it did not succeed, because it sprinkled all this money on programs, crony capitalism and government jobs, which is not the key to growth, and that’s the major distinction between the policies of the Left and the Right, Democrats and Conservatives.
