New Deal Didn't Fund Problems - It Found Solutions
The U.S. government has simply thrown money at our current financial crisis, rather than solving it. We should be reviving President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, which eased the immediate crisis of the Depression and installed lasting solutions.
The New Deal was a three-part plan. It didn’t just fund problems; it found solutions. First, it truly regulated and stabilized the financial system by dividing it into risky, and non-risky parts. The government then backed only the non-risky, consumer-oriented banks. Second, it provided long-term economic stability to Americans through social security and other social programs. And third, it created jobs to build infrastructure and got people working again.
In fact, only the elements of the New Deal that haven’t been deregulated over the years have maintained some order in the current crisis. FDR’s creation of the FDIC to insure customer deposits has staved off a national run on the banks. And the social security system continues to offer payments to seniors and the disabled, saving what might have otherwise been a market swipe at their retirement.

Franklin Roosevelt introduced the welfare state into America by signing into law the minimum wage, progressive taxation, Social Security, and in 1938 created Fannie Mae to provide low-interest mortgages.
Ever since then, government intervention into the marketplace has increased, spawning more welfare programs and causing market havoc.
For instance, take only one such case: To Fannie Mae, the government added Freddie Mac, exempting both from taxation and oversight. Through one of their programs called "Affordable Housing," government forced banks and insurance companies to extend loans to those who could not afford to meet payments. The result was a financial crisis, for which the government blamed capitalism and "greedy" businessmen---despite the fact that the government controls 90 percent of the nation's secondary mortgage market---and added insult to injury by telling CEOs to resign and to conceal vital information from shareholders.
This is the inevitable consequence of the welfare state. It is called socialism. Mr. Obama has expanded socialism and will continue to do so. To stop him we must petition the government to rescind all welfare programs. We do not need another New Deal. We need to get rid of it and all the welfare programs it stimulated.
The best and only moral way to help people, if that is one's motive, is to protect their individual rights and freedoms.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Bokor
The New Deal was the largest expansion of Federal power in the US's history, and because so the Constitution was metaphorically tossed aside. There is no time in history that regulation of free markets has helped out an economy. Social security is a Ponzi-scheme of massive proportions in which money (and thus production) is taken from those who earn and given to those who do not. What kind of stability was given to Americans through any social programs?
We don't trust government (who can blame us?). We don't trust the investment companies, banks, and many of the large employers in this country. We don't trust them because this happened on their watch. New Deal is not the solution. It's more government and government is a good chunk of the problem. I feel as though our President is approaching this like another one of his "organizing" campaigns. He is not listening to us - he is treating us, the American People, as though we aren't smart enough to know what is best for us. That sure doesn't sound like change to me.
Here's my economic stimulus. Distribute the funds directly to the American people. We will agree that in return we will all accept a 50% paycut for one year to help big businesses dig themselves out of their own hole. We won't quit or strike or whine about lower wages for that year; because, the government gave it to us up front. In addition, our employers will keep us employed. They should be able to afford it now; because we are all costing them less. Of course, the senior management also took that 50% cut. Those of us that are unemployed will accept a job for 50% of what we would expect to make.
As grown ups, we will decide how we will spend our "stimulus" checks. If we make bad choices, we have no one to blame but ourselves. As businesses, employers can restructure or do what they need to do to dig themselves out of their hole with 50% less wages to pay out. In the end, the smart will survive.
Giving stimulus money to the very folks who put us here overseen by the very folks who were supposed to be watching is like handing $500 cash to a kid with a drug problem in front of his friends and saying "don't spend it on drugs". What do you think will happen?
Wow. I read your comment thinking "this is going somewhere." Leaving the government out of it is a great idea, and I agree with your point on how Obama is treating the people. However, your proposed economic stimulus is not the solution.
Instead of distributing the funds to American people, why doesn't the government simply not take the funds from the American people in the first place? You had a good point on accepting paycuts, but instead of that why not just do away with minimum wage to where we are paid what we are worth? And why let businesses dig themselves out of their "own" holes? If indeed it is a certain business's fault that it is in financial turmoil, let it go bankrupt. Others can begin anew where the ruins of the old were left. If the new business is smarter, it will be more successful and make more money. I completely disagree with "our employers will keep us employed" simply because if that were the case, I could completely disregard the responsibilities of my job and still keep the job. We should EARN our wages. On the other hand, perhaps the failure of the business is not the business's fault; then take away the government aspect of it and it will do fine on its own, without the hand of the state guiding it.
We should be able to decide how to spend our "stimulus" checks--by not paying the price of taxes that pay for the stimulus bill. I like your idea of in the end, the "smart will survive," yet take away a stimulus bill altogether and the same effect is achieved. If any such stimulus bill is passed, wealth is still being redistributed from those that have earned it to those who have not.
Very good concluding sentences, haha.
When I talked about business digging themselves out of their own holes, I expected many would just throw dirt on top and complete the burial. I was really trying to be optimistic. I agree with your changes, and particularly the work ethic issue. I think our plan would work.
If I ran an "investment" plan structured like Social Security I would end up in jail. Just ask Bernie Madoff (sp?) about what happens when you try to be like the feds.
I might as well mention that, at its inception, Social Security only paid out to people who had passed their life expectancy.
Is it really a good thing when Congress writes a law for the federal government to do something in a manner which would see a citizen jailed?
