I can already foresee the "finger-pointing junkees" calling this idea Socialist.
I don't see any issue with it. |

I learned something today in AP US History called APPARTS: Author, Place and Time, Prior Knowledge, Audience, Reason, The Main Idea, Significance
It's used to analyze primary sources for bias. I'll use it for this report.
1. I only had to stop at Author: Heiner Flassbeck. "He was a civil servant from 1998 to 1999 Secretary of State in the Ministry of Finance and is a leading representative of the demand-oriented economic policy in Germany."
"demand-oriented economic policy"
"in direct contrast to Say's Theorem and the supply-side policy"
I think Mr. Flassbeck found the results he wanted to. |

But it'd be like Paul Krugman writing a report on this, or Friedrich Hayek. |

No, but the result is predictable. |

If the arguments use logic and have reliable sources, I don't see any problem. |

>If a retard tells the truth, does that make it a lie?
Hayek and Krugman are both respected economists, who have both made major contributions to macroeconomics.
>If a priest is hired to write a report on whether God exists, does that make it a lie?
You might as well say that everything we spout should be ignored because we have our own political convictions. Or that Mutual Aid should be ignored because of Kropotkin's economic and political convictions. Or that Hayek's works should be ignored because of his.
You're attacking the author instead of the argument. |

Know what, when I get the chance to read a 224 page report, you'll be the first to read my in-depth analysis.
Until then, it was lead by a German economists that opposes austerity. Should it shock me he came up with this conclusion? Should it shock me that Lay's came up with the conclusion potato chips prevent heart attacks? |

>Should it shock me he came up with this conclusion?

Not at all, but the report is, supposedly, built upon actual facts, and wasn't meant to market chips to people with heart disease. |

Grim, use your critical thinking skills, I know you have them: An economist with an opinion conducts a study. The results of that study agree with his opinion.
Why not hire an independent board to conduct the study? |

>Why not hire an independent board to conduct the study?
Because economists who take themselves seriously typically don't include a bias. If you can find one example of actual falsification, I'd change my opinion. |

I've read the article. It doesn't offer anything in the way of facts beside the assertion itself. |
