We'll, it seems like Milton and Nixon may have said, We Are All Keynesians Now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_all_Keynesians_now

We have every kind of Keynesianism except the kind original proposed by Keynes

modern Keynesianism is a form of Conservative Socialism (a mutant of social conservatism) aka socialism for the rich

Penal Keynesianism (Prison Industrial complex) Financial Keynesianism (To Big To Fail) War on Terror Keynesisia (Military Industrial Complex) Media Keynesianism (Citizens United Money Talks Elections) Health Keynesianism (Obama Care) Charter School Keynesianism (No Child Left Behind)

Milton and Nixon are right, the Corporate system is now the intermediary of Keynesianism
