[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 482782, member: 8259"] The new deal seems to be the topic of the month since the President and Congress want to follow this failed path. I for one have a hard time understanding why people think these policies worked. The unemployment rate did not return to the normal rate until about 1942. I believe something big was happening that year besides the new deal. The new deal programs started about 1933. We are still paying for most of these programs today. By any measure it seems like this policy was a huge failure so I am having a difficult time understanding why our Government wants to repeat this failure. It seems from watching their interviews the only thing they can say is that we must do something. If anything it seems like the new deal made things worse so why would we want to make things worse. I understand why the government wants to create inflation and avoid deflation and I don't agree with it but at least I can understand their point of view but this massive spending for no reason other than we must do something I really am having a hard time trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I am beginning to feel like the government must be trying to create some dependency so they can stay in power. Someone please help me understand why the government wants to implement a new deal part II when the first was such a failure. It seems like most everyone outside of the super party line types are willing to admit these failures so why are we going back down this path. I cannot help but wonder why the average joe stands for this madness. I am already hearing the political mouthpieces bring up a national sales tax to pay for all this new spending. At what point does the average person stand up and say enough of the government taking our freedoms? Have we become a nation full of people that fear freedom? We have a government that cannot run anything efficiently whose officials fly around in fleets of private jets telling people running private companies they should not fly in private jets. We have a government run so inefficient that they have 5 trillion in debt telling private companies that they are to successful and they need to confiscate some of their wealth. Why are these things acceptable in this country? Why have we given the government the right to tell us what wage we must work for and then cry about an unemployment rate? Why do we demand that the government over regulate business then cry about business going somewhere they can become profitable?

The bottom line is the new deal failed not because the intentions were bad but because it was stupid. Not only did it not work but we are still paying for it today. I think we are running down the same path right now and it has become painful to see all the revisionists talk about the new deal. Sorry about all that if anyone read it.
