How does dramatically reducing aggregate demand actually grow an economy?
It's because aggregate demand is a horrible analysis. Government doesn't know what people should be spending on, and it doesn't know the correct ratio of investment to consumption. If there is "not enough demand," then the problem is that the things that people want are not being made and the things that people don't want are. Allow production to adjust to consumer demand and then you'll get a robust recovery.
At least Boehner is honest in admitting cuts will increase unemployment. You have this crazy idea that killing demand will increase economic activity. And when challenged on this, you are completely unable to support your belief.
Short term versus long term.
Tell me, is Greece expanding leaps and bounds from its dramatic cuts?
Greece still has a debt crisis. They have not cut enough.
