Talk:Treasury view

Is anybody else worried that this article seems to spring full-formed from Brad Delong's blog (and thus far from view point neutral)? The "Treasury View" is a phrase interesting only because of the historical context. In the current debates on fiscal stimulus this phrase is used by proponents as a rhetorical device to associate opponents of stimulus with a roundly maligned view.

Its telling that no one on the "Proponents" list would, in fact, admit to holding the "Treasury View". Also, even Fama --- number one on Delong's "Treasury View" hit list --- acknowledges productive (relative to private) government expenditures would increase incomes.

I suggest the references to the current debate be deleted or more context for them is provided. Pushmedia1 (talk) 21:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking the opposite. When the article told me that Friedman's view (complete with bolded statements) should not be viewed as wrong-headed, I thought the author must not have ever read an encyclopedia before and was clearly a Freshwater apologist--65.254.29.162 (talk) 20:13, 30 August 2010 (UTC).

Why is there not an "Arguments against" section? Furthermost (talk) 05:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
