Salon’s shocked–shocked!–anyone doubts the New Deal

In Did you hear FDR prolonged the Great Depression?, Salon‘s “David Sirota” has his breath taken away at the claim of “conservatives” that FDR’s interventionism prolonged Great Depression I, which claim is merely “designed to stop Congress from passing an economic stimulus package” (why they would oppose the stimulus if they really believed it would work is a mystery–I guess they just want to be “mean-spirited”). Poor “tongue-tied” Sirota knows, he knows, that “the New Deal worked well.” He checked, you see–and his government-school fed beliefs are verified by none other than socialist Paul Krugman, federal government stooge Ben Bernanke, Newspeak, and court “historians.” So that settles it. Back to intervening.
