Since the venerated economist John Maynard Keynes once suggested (I’m paraphrasing) that government could stimulate the economy by burying bottles of money in old mineshafts and hiring people to find the bottles,  here’s a great new idea: feed money to dogs, then hire people to walk the dogs and “recover” the money.

If this sounds like a great idea, you can thank the Davis family of Apex, whose dog Augie originated the concept.

If this sounds like an idiotic idea, then you have a correct assessment of Keynesian economics.
