In 1995, economist Robert Whaples of Wake Forest University published a survey of academic economists that asked them if they agreed with the statement, "Taken as a whole, government policies of the New Deal served to lengthen and deepen the Great Depression." Fifty-one percent disagreed, and 49 percent agreed. Whaples today says that the New Deal remains a thorny issue for economists because it's so difficult to measure the effects it had on the country. "You need a credible model of the economy, and not everyone is going to agree on what that model should be," he says. > You're still not getting it are you?

The fact that zero Republicans voted for the bill in the House tells us just HOW political it is. It is a Hail Mary by Democrats, not by America. Make no mistake, Democrats own this bill 100%.
