I boil my Keynesian economics counter argument down to it's bloody immoral to steal purchasing power from savers by inventing new money to increase the "velocity" of money. It's not a random coincidence that the same people who have the authority to invent money happen to be obscenely wealthy, bankers are stealing from you and paying themselves first.
