Democrat Dollar Doldrum

Tonight's PBS Newshour featured Paul Solman interviewing amongst others New Jersey Governor Corzine and a Democratic US Representative who both agreed that massive New Deal style infrastructure programs are necessary to save our economy as demand has dried up. They agreed with a leftist economist that FDR had dropped the ball by not spending more on make-work programs to pull the US out of the Great Depression. They were followed by a female Washington Post reporter who concurred that the only way out for the country was massive Federal spending on roads, bridges, schools, and "green " investment. It is the taxpayer who will see his green (money) being confiscated to finance all this and history has demonstrated that this socialism has no prospect of returning us to prosperity. This is balderdash propounded by the power mad and accepted by idiots.
