Fair enough, but Krauthammer invented the terms "Reagan Doctrine" and "unipolarity". His effect on U.S. foreign policy has been immeasurable. George Will can write columns about baseball for the next fifty years and never come close to touching that.
As for the Money & Housing thread, take your time. It's become evident that the conversation on that thread isn't going to move on without you. Although I would like to point out that you implied in one of your posts that I thought that deficit spending would shift the LM curve. I overlooked that, and so I didn't respond, but I can assure you that my understanding of the IS-LM model is not so faulty. I was talking about another bond or security buying program, which would of course move the LM curve. Just because we are in a liquidity trap that doesn't mean the LM curve doesn't shift. It just means that it doesn't increase output. If we are going to confine ourselves to the parameters of the model, then cutting taxes, simplifying the tax code, and eliminating unnecessary and burdensome regulations will have a much greater impact on long-term output than transient spending bursts. Not to mention the fact that Republican proposals of spending cuts, while they could cause short-term unemployment, will lead to lower long-term interest rates and hence higher long-term output. Another massive stimulus package, on the other hand, may boost short term employment, but it will result in higher long-term interest rates and hence lower long-term output.
But I digress. Carry on.
