the New Deal was an abysmal failure. almost all of today’s economists agree that Franklin Roosevelt extended the Great Depression at least 7 years longer than it needed to last. the New Deal failed because it interfered with natural market forces that would’ve corrected themselves sooner than later. for example, for every government job that was created, more jobs were lost in the private sector, which were the only jobs that could’ve helped revive the economy.
today, Obama is taking us down the same path that Roosevelt took in 1933. also, for the record, FDR was not a good president. he was an aspiring dictator who ruled for longer than what was gentlemanly (4 terms) and tried to circumvent the Constitution by packing the Supreme Court with Democrats (1937 Judiciary Reorganization Bill). he was a communist sympathizer who cozied up with Stalin and allowed the Soviets to take East Berlin. finally, his internment of 110,000 Japanese-Americans was one of the worst human rights violations in U.S. history.
