Regardless, I can certainly overreact without being, well, wrong, so whether or not I get overly worked up about bad ideas is kind of beside the point.

I guess what puzzles me on your stance here is that not just the US but most Western governments seem to applying some form of 'demand-side' approach to the recession (to my amateur eye IE: dropped interest rates - 'nationalising' industries - 'public works' IE green energy projects). Can the New Deal really have been such a washout as you suggest if a lot of them are taking leafs out of its 'Keynesian' book? (Just for the record i find some of the actions being taken some what dubious, but have to assume all these countries aren't just lemmings following each other off a cliff. Not completely anyway )
I'm further perplexed by your stance on climate change policies/science etc, in that you seem to be mainly taking a 'gut call' position, when as you point out trillions are at stake, at least, etc. But that's something for another thread
