It's awesome that C3PO is the acronym of an actual program.

Very few know the backstory of this petition.

"May The Farce Be With You" - White House Responds To Imperial Death Star Petition | Zero Hedge

It was a thought experiment by ZH to show how stupid some premises of Keynesianism are. There is nothing ridiculous about it, unless you also label the current policies and goals of the US government and the Fed as ridiculous.

That's the problem with trying to discuss US policy with foreigners who are only here to argue. We take
these issues to heart, because this is our country and we love it, they're here for the entertainment value.
