Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
I found this bit amusing:
ReplyDelete"The authors said their proposals drew inspiration from President Roosevelt's 1933 New Deal.
During 100 days, he sent a record number of bills to Congress, all of which went on to become law, including banking reforms and emergency relief programmes.
The prolific reforms were credited with turning around the US economy."
I suppose if you consider massively increasing the scope and power of the Federal government, increasing taxes, retarding trade, and generally making the Great Depression *worse* then, yeah, he was responsible for "turning around the US economy".
In his own mind anyway.
Hmm, that second-to-last sentence should've ended with something like "making the Great Depression *worse* and improvement, then yeah...".
