Stupid Conservative

8 Random Items for 1/8/2009 #7

Fox News moron Brit Hume says ...
(T)he New Deal -- everybody agrees, I think, on both sides of the spectrum now, that the New Deal failed. The debate is over why it failed.
Funny, but I don't think that is the case. History shows that the New Deal ensured the very survival of millions of Americans during the depression, and, if not for the very conservative attempt to balance the budget in 1937, might very well have pulled us out of the depression. As for what did pull us out of the depression, that would be World War II, or more specifically, the largest government spending project ever undertaken by our nation.

I apologize for the redundancy in the headline.
