Perhaps I am missing it and Pat is being wonderfully ironic.

His advice is poor as it neglects the fact of a depression. Still, he got paid for the article and paper never refused ink. Perhaps, if we pretend, it will not be a depression? Austrian no Ostrich economics! Solecism. The author of the article does not consider that there is a difference between a recession and a depression.

Just raise taxes, again and again. Do not allow the slaves to ask why they were not raised when they could be easily paid and there was lots of money. That would be a solcism. http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/next/archives/2010/03/once_upon_a_tim.html
