I don't make a lot of political predictions, but I'm a-gonna make this one. Germany's response to and success with the economic crisis will somehow be used by some old-Chicago-school douchetard to disprove Keynes. Somehow government spending will become not government spending. That's gonna be interesting to watch.

“We’re moving from a conspicuous consumption — which is ‘buy without regard’ — to a calculated consumption,” says Marshal Cohen, an analyst at the NPD Group, the retailing research and consulting firm.
