“The recovery in the early 1920s is an example of an economy rapidly recovering as government spending and taxes were cut. Another example is ‘The Austerity of 1946’, which despite Keynesian economists’ predictions of doom and gloom, was in fact was a period of rapid return to relative prosperity following the massive reduction in government spending which followed the end WW II. Given how poorly the economy has fared following the ‘treatment’ proscribed by Dr. Bernanke and Dr. Obama isn’t it time to try a Dr. Rothbard’s natural cure?”
