re: #205 alegrias

Who here has read Amity Shlaes’ “The Forgotten Man” questioning the success of the “New Deal”? Ms. Shlaes wrote this before our current breakdown, and she used to write for the Wall Street Journal. Interesting parallels between then & now, retribution as a substitute for an absent recovery….

She used the same data as the Obama Administration’s “great Depression” economist, Christina Roemer, but came up with different conclusions, not surprising.

PS, “The Forgotten Man” of the title? It’s the tax payer.

Practically everyone, I think. If not, they should. Shlaes is spot on.
