Re: Did FDR's New Deal Prolong the Great Depressio

I would say that is pretty balanced. I think it serves are a good warning.

As i have said before, not all spending is equal and Obama's bill has a lot of bad spending in it (like more than a billion to set up some wacky healtcare scheme that can lead to government rats telling doctors how to treat sick people)

But Aquilla, my perspective of FDR comes from my grandfather who was the Senior elected democrat in the state of Louisiana when he died. He was the president of the democratic executive commettee in Beaureguard Parish from 1935 to his death in 1996.

He told me that FDR sunk the country and his policy kept us in the depression for years longer than it should have. Now I see a lot of folk agreeing with what my grandpa told me when I was a kid in highschool and was studying all of this.
