“It’s easy to confuse trends and cycles. The Keynesian Cargo Cultists believe that we’re in a cyclical downturn that can be ‘cured’ with more debt-based spending, i.e. worshiping their false god of aggregate demand. They cannot comprehend that we’re not in a business-cycle recession, we are in a long-term trend where additional debt undermines the system as the positive returns on that debt turn negative.”
