1. Recently, the brainless bartender offered the Green New Deal, which provided 'financial security for those who don't care to work,' and stone-age polices on fossil fuels and modern transportation.
All of the Democrat elites stood shoulder to shoulder on this failed set of polices.




2. And.....she named it for an earlier set of Democrat failures:

On this date in 1932...
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt coined the term “New Deal” in his acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination.

3. FDR co-opted Mussolini's economic program and called it the New Deal.

"Perhaps the most radical aspect of the New Deal was the National Industrial Recovery Act, passed in June 1933, which created a massive new bureaucracy called the National Recovery Administration. Under the NRA, most manufacturing industries were suddenly forced into government-mandated cartels.

Codes that regulated prices and terms of sale briefly transformed much of the American economy into a fascist-style arrangement, while the NRA was financed by new taxes on the very industries it controlled. Some economists have estimated that the NRA boosted the cost of doing business by an average of 40 percent — not something a depressed economy needed for recovery."
Great Myths of the Great Depression, Lawrence W Reed






4. “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong…somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started…And an enormous debt to boot!”

Little do little precious snowflakes learn about history anymore, it is about racial justice and the wonders of socialism that is being taught in the "higher education" system. We all saw how well that went in the country of CHAZ.. highest amount of poverty and murders per capita than the whole rest of the world....

Sadly, their ownership of the school system turns out tons of these thugs, imbeciles, arsonists, anarchists, looters......

.....and they vote.

In those days democrats needed jobs because the modern welfare system did not exist

now libs are happy to lose their job because then they get paid to do nothing all day

"In those days democrats needed jobs because the modern welfare system did not exist "


Actually, it did. For over 200 years.

1. Prior to Franklin Roosevelt, and Hoover, welfare was handled by charities and churches, carefully considering who got the relief, and the reasons for same.

2. Under FDR, welfare and charity became a patronage endeavor, to get votes rather than to ease suffering.

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) doled out relief nationally to those states with the best political connections. The Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932 began with the best of intentions...but under the Democrats it went to well-connected friends, including mayors and governors.

Illinois, a swing state, got $55,443,721, which was almost 20% of the RFC's $300 million, more than NY, California, and Texas combined.
Murray Rothbard, "America's Great Depression," p.262-263.


3. Economist Jim Powell, in “FDR’s Folly,” notes that a disproportionate amount of FDR’s relief and public works spending “went not to the poorest states such as the South, but to western states were people were better off , apparently because there were ‘swing’ states which could yield FDR more votes in the next election.”

That basis for charity and welfare continues to this day!




An interesting book on early American charity:

I agree with your facts

but that was merit based private charity

lazy bums did not get a monthy check from the local church

the modern welfare system is just kneejerk brainless helicopter money thrown out the door by Uncle Sugar

Yup......the modern system is simply a vote-buying scheme.


The Scots' Charitable Society, organized in 1684, "open[ed] the bowells of our compassion" to widows like Mrs. Stewart, who had "lost the use of her left arm" and whose husband was "Wash'd Overboard in a Storm."
...." "Heritage of American Social Work: Readings in Its Philosophical and Institutional Development," by Ralph Pumphrey and W. Muriel Pumphrey, p. 29.

And here is the major difference between current efforts and the earlier: charity was not handed out indiscriminately- "no prophane or diselut person, or openly scandelous shall have any pairt or portione herein."

The able-bodied were expected to find work, and if they chose not to, well....it was considered perfectly appropriate to press them to change their mind.
Olasky, "The Tragedy of American Compassion," chapter one.






A cornerstone of the Liberal philosophy is that one never make judgments about the behavior of other. Notice how that view eliminates the compassion and charity prevalent in an earlier America, one in which 'need' was the driver, not 'want.'

" One change in societal attitude has been the “ecumenical niceness”…don’t fight, share toys, take turns….and never, ever be judgmental. As a result, the upper cultural class, which has stabilized by returning to more traditional ways, survives, yet these individuals will not criticize the behaviors which are destroying the lower cultural class."
"Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010" by Charles Murray
