Keynesians believe that stimulating the right part of the economy will increase the speedup of recovery. When you fail to stimulate the right part of the economy that's not Keynesian economics. Most proponents of Keynesian politics are in favor of fiscal stimulus. Namely infrastructure investments and jobs programs. Where do you see this happening?

Meanwhile Austrian economics is just some meme that is anti Keynesian and doesn't even attempt to solve any problem other than get rid of Keynesian economics. This is especially telling when they are extra loud when no Keynesian economics are being done so they feel justified in their criticism.

What we have right now is closer to trickle down economics. Douse the rich in money with the hope that some drops reach the poor.
