Data Rules!

SEE HERE There is a popular idea especially among liberals and progressives that the government programs of Roosevelt's New Deal saved us from the Great Depression. In this reading Thomas Sowell throws a little data on this hypothesis and cooks it convincingly. It would be nice if liberals and progressives cared about data, but they don't. They only care about their theories which are concocted to give them control and power to punish those that oppose them. If you doubt that you might explore the behavior of the Obama administration. They use every opportunity to apply political tests to the largess they are spreading around. It is corruption on a deep and continuous level, just like the New Deal.
