I get it though, I think neoliberal/supply-side/trickle down is stupid, moronic and stubborn. I guess the difference for me is we have decades of evidence showing us that the Keynesian economic strategy works for the masses, while the neoliberal strategy works only for the rich.
Well of course that's my opinion. That's what we do on here right? I'm telling you what I think and you say what you think and we consider this a good use of our time for some reason.

I actually agree with Keynes, but on the capital spend. When the NDP (and prior PC governments for that matter) borrowed for capital projects it makes sense.
