The New Deal Is Back

Published on October 9, 2008 By stevendedalus In Politics

On this site for years I was arguably the only one who would on occasion mention the New Deal in EARNEST. It seems with Reaganomics in disarray the ghost of FDR hovers between the headlines. Apparently the time is right to terminate Ponzi's funny money game and begin establishing an economic system that prioritizes real investments in making THINGS that truly matter in lieu of money making money and losing sight of the pragmatic aim of wealth.

15.9% - The unemployment rate in 1931.

17.2% - The unemployment rate in 1939, after 8 years of The New Deal.

Let's hope The New Deal is not back.

That's because there was so much more employable and dynamically in transit. TVA finishes, for instance, electricians move south, kerosene manufactureres close, etc.
