Doug (or any other economist types): what do you think the next logical "step" your government would take to get the economy going again, given sado-monetarism (those amazing falling interest rates), income tax reductions, and now what might be a "Keynesian re-inflation" scheme, via the military? Canada is apparently following the States with the latter (albeit, not militarily inspired) and interest rate reduction, too. What would be the next step?
