Laudato Si
Keynes and Krugman are walking down the street and see dog droppings. Keynes says to Krugman: “I’ll pay you $20,000 to eat those.” Krugman thinks about it, decides he really wants a new car, and eats the droppings. They continue walking, then Krugman sees some other dog’s droppings up ahead and says to Keynes: “Same deal: I’ll pay you $20,000 to eat that.” Keynes didn’t expect Krugman to take him up on his bet earlier, and he really needs the money, so he agrees. Then Krugman says to Keynes: “We both have the same amount of money as before, but we both ate poop.” Keynes replies: “Yeah, but there was $40,000 in stimulus to the national GDP.”
Then they both go to Obama’s office and convince him to start another war to “create wealth.” GOOD JOKE, merchants of death!
Someone should remind them both that they both now owe at least $7k in taxes…
