PBR I'll just note that as far as FDR and the NEW DEAL was concerned, go look back at the numbers, unemployment, housing, etc, basically the economy in general and you'll see the total ineffectiveness of his programs. Look for yourself.They were more like busy work to make people think the govt was doing something. Nothing changed till the war and the destruction of Europe. On the other hand at least we did get some good public works projects out of it though we did pay for them dearly and continue to do so today.
And as for rest, maybe you should rethink what those programs are really doing. Too many topics here for a political minded guy like me to single out just one. Giving away money or lending money to students to pay back later doesn't help the economy. Forcing an employer to pay workers who aren't working is not a way to make money. As far as a balanced budget we are a debtor nation, we owe trillions and trillions of dollars and will never be able to pay it back without cutting SS and other entitlements. Too many topics and don't want to go on a political rant, better to stay away remain calm. Going to hit the trout streams this weekend and maybe try for a turkey on Sunday. take care all.
