Reply #3: New Deal is more than Social Security [View All]

[carter9]

When Bush dreams about dismantling the New Deal, he's talking about more than Social Security. The New Deal spawned such anti-American programs as FDIC, health, education, welfare, home loan programs, labor programs. All the institutions and progressive programs that we fight so hard to protect have grown out of the New Deal. Check out, http://www.wwcd.org/policy/US/newdeal.html for a better idea of the depth of the New Deal.

So, what Bush wants to dismantle is the very basis of democratic progress, reforms and institutions that have identified Democrats as a noble and compassionate breed, set apart from the greed and callousness of the Republicans.
