Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.

--Dwight D. Eisenhower

The New Deal hit the ground running, only to stumble under the fear that the financial burden was too great, and once put in the check the critics stepped aside and let the New Dealer work his job-creating-crisis-averting magic. Unlike today's critics, those critical of FDR wouldn't have dared to call Roosevelt unconstitutional. (See: "Criticism of Obama Mirrors That of FDR," by Elizabeth Tandy Shermer)

When did our elected officials forsake class for talking points?
