Huckabee The Keynesian

By on 1.24.08 @ 9:19PM

I'm watching the debate from here at Florida Atlantic University, where Mike Huckabee just said that he thinks the way to stimulate the economy is to build infastructure using American materials and labor. That is classic Keynesian economics. This man may be a good Christian, but his economic views are much closer to FDR than Ronald Reagan.
