Default Re: Who paved the way for massive gov\'t spending...?

I thought you agree FDR starting this spending spree?

Partially. His programs were in response to a third of the country being out of work. Obviously, some of his social programs wouldn't be reasonable today, but others (i.e. Soc. Security, FDIC) still are vital to our economic stability. I'm thinking your point is there's still massive overspending on New Deal-type programs today. Shoot me some examples.
