RSJ also provides good comments on some of the differences in our earlier posts here, though commenters on my blog posts have suggested they thought the broader model RSJ questioned the magnitude of does apply even in the US:
And yes, I enjoyed reading HBLs posts on this as well, and we managed to get some good discussions about this.
Btw, Stephen Williamson has also been making some of these points as well, and was actually engaged in a half-hearted way by Brad DeLong, who basically argued "even though the private sector is able to undo QE, it does not mean that it will."
IMO, this hasn't been given enough attention in the mainstream.
