Reflecting on an Old SDS Activist’s Death Back when I was in college (1968-72), campuses were filled with all kinds of political folks. One of the largest groups was campus radicals Students for a Democratic Society. Ironically, what they did best was to shout down those they disagreed with over the War in Vietnam. They were most famous for shutting down campuses and taking over administrative offices. Recently, Carl Oglesby passed away at age 76. He had been elected president of SDS back in 1965 at age 30. He once told an audience, “Revo- lutions do not take place in velvet boxes. They never had.

I recently read a copy of “The Nation” that carried a front page story inside on “What Would Keynes do?” Obama keeps Anna, Josephine and Anthony Geata. resurrecting stimulus bills after a preceding one fails. He just doesn’t seem to get why there is such a failure rate with his economic policy. I wonder if Obama ever read the book Keynes wrote in 1936, “The General Kiwanis Club of Medford Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.” If he did he should have recognized that pouring more money ~ A Taste of Italy a Huge Success ~ at this time into the economy can’t quite work in this latest crisis we face. Keynes hated trade debts. Stated The Nation, “It’s not just our jobless rate but our huge trade deficit that would appall him. He’d be aghast to see the United States bogged down in so much debt to the rest of the world.” Keynesian economics such as deficit spending can’t really work properly to push employment back up in 1936 when he wrote his book, the United States was the largest creditor nation in the world. He never thought we would become mired in credit as we have. The Nation said if he were living today, he would be pushing for not just short term goals but a long range plan to get us back into a creditor position again. According to “The Economist,” the United States as of July 9 had rolled a $680.9 billion trade deficit over the previous 12 months which means in 12 months time, we rolled up another $0.7 trillion in the red. Over the same period of time, China, that great democracy, (ha, ha, ha) had a surplus of $188.4 billion. Read this from The Nation magazine, “Keynes believed that practical leaders would always see the supreme importance of keeping the country out of external debt.” Keynes obviously never imagined a president like our current one.
