The word "Keynesian" went out when Reagan came in, but his boys straightway  
came up with a new rationale for deficit spending: the "Ricardian  
Equivalence Theorem", expounded by Robert Barro. Reagan and the Bushes  
proceeded, of course, to run the greatest deficits of all time.  Blaming  
Keynes is pretty stale by now.
