That's funny, but very telling of this generation. If all you understand, or have been taught is keynesian economics, that would be a logical question. You will be surprised to know there is a whole other side of economic theory that is rarely taught anymore because it puts the control of the economy in the hands of the consumers and free markets, and out of the hands of government printing presses.
My father has two Ph.D's in Economics, and has a very hard time holding tenure at the University because he refuses to teach keynesian economics.
