And the solution is to spend more? This isn't even what Keynes was referring to. He envisioned individuals saving too much out of an irrational fear during a recession. See this <a href="http://laissezfaireandwuwei.blogspot.com/2008/12/more-to-keynesianism-than-fiscal.html" rel="nofollow">post</a> for a closer look at how fiscal stimulus today is not even Keynesianism.

(b) Facebook and YouTube got bought out before they needed to IPO. The slow pace of IPOs is related to a lack of faith in the free market. Only in the fantasies that the WSJ publishes would anyone assume that there are few IPOs because of regulations, and confuse IPOs for new company creation. (c) Lower tax rates -- that tired old conservative snake oil that can cure cancer, fix the economy and solve global hunger. Grow up!
