Advice from Lord Keynes to the President

I have often complained that, regardless of the merits of health-care reform, environmental regulations, and the myriad of "reforms" put in place by the Obama administration, doing so while the economy is recovering from a massive recession is simply a bad idea.  It turns out that I'm more of a Keynesian than I thought and that the President isn't enough of one.  Greg Mankiw has a post describing a letter by John Maynard Keynes to FDR in 1933.  Here is the key quote:
