I can't tell for sure though, you know me, I'd almost rather believe he has in me in mind here. After a recent post where he had grandiosely claimed to have put 'two more nails in the Keynesian coffin' I asked him just how big the Keynesian coffin is-there seem to be two more nails added to it every week. Here was his response:
"There are a lot of Keynesians that need to be buried, and some of them are rather obese."

I can think of only two people who could have in mind-me or Brad Delong. I believe Delong is rather heavy. I for my part-I'm a big guy let's just say. Still how would Sumner know that-maybe by looking at the picture on my blog. Or maybe it's a coincidence-he just happened to pick on fat people and it just so happens: I'm fat?
We know he likes to pick on the unemployed-recall his deriision when I pointed out that I've been unemployed?

He also picks on fat people? What's next pulling cats tails or clubbing baby seals? Forbthe record I don't get what all his triumphalism is because GDP was 2.8% in the third quarter. We're not in as bad a shape as the EU but we-as he admits himself-we're far from healthy. However, once you admit that the economy has a lot of room for improvement what is the basis for saying that the sequester did no harm? We could have used the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost-and counting to the sequester.
If it weren't for the steep loss of government jobs over the last few years we would be where we want to be.

Roche may be clever in calling Obama a destroyer of government jobs and Reagan a creator but of course it's the House GOP rather than Obama who writes the budgets alas. He has called for more stimulus spending-like in his jobs bill of 2011. The GOP doesn't want to do anything to actually help the economy but rather hope problems hurt Obama and benefit themselves-kind of like their strategy with Obamacare as well.
Anyway, with Scott now rising to the level of picking on people's weight he sounds like a Republican himself.
P.S. Was Keynes overweight? I don't know-I still wonder if he had me in mind. I'm must like that Carly Simon song-'you probably this song is about you, don't you, don't you?' I kind of would welcome that it was about me.
