I have heard a number of programs this past week where the term "Keynesian Socialism" was used. So here are a few thoughts regarding this type of socialism:
KEYNES AT HARVARD:
Published - 1960
"As mentioned by Clarence W. Barron in 1918, Keynes is a Socialist that does not believe in the family. Naturally, in order to control the birth rate the State must BREAK UP THE FAMILY as an independent and free unit. Private enterprise in running family, in other words must also be subject to socialized control.
Keynes' close friend and official biographer, R.F. Harrod, wrote:
He (Keynes) was not a great friend of the profit motive; he found something unsatisfactory in the quest for gain as such, and came to the hope that an economic system might be evolved in which it was curtailed."
"With the defeat of Hoover and the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Keynes' American left-wing friends climbed into positions of great power.
-----------------
For years it had been a point of Socialist strategy that complete government control of currency and all money and currency values is a chief lever in moving society toward REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AND COMPLETE SOCIALISM." Any of this starting to sound familiar?
Remember, Franklin D. Roosevelt has been given credit for ending "The Great Depression" through his "New Deal" policies. Also keep in mind that the "Great Depression" did not end with the election of FDR. As a matter of fact, I read where the unemployment rate under FDR was in double digits until WW II.
Any way you look at it, Barack Hussein Obama is a Socialist to the core. I hope you all heard the tape of the telephone conversation Obama had with a NY Times reporter. The call was made after an interview with the NY Times and Obama was asked a question about his being Socialist.
Evidently he didn't think his answer during the interview, or probably more correctly, some staff member advised him that his answer during the regular interview was way weak. So President Obama made a telephone call to try to salvage that part of the interview. Keep also in mind that at this point he was not relying on a tele-prompter and he stuttered around and sounded very Un Presidential.
Just got this in an "e" ~ need a couple of minutes to get links to the actual interview and the phone call ~ brb

Ah, ha!
And here's a link to the original interview,
