    Amen. People are ready to praise the bailouts of unprofitable business structures as FDR-like, but are simultaneously eager to forget that his temporary programs, such as the CCC, also allowed for structural unemployment and industrial shifts. With so many politicians claiming that we need to refocus our energy policies, one would think that they would at least consider aiding the production and employment of fledgling corporations and industries. Although historical data would seem to suggest that the war was more responsible for ending crisis in FDR’s time, he at least didn’t have his long-term plans structured as wrongly as we evidently yearn to have ours structured now.

Have the central planners even considered this as they plot our futures for us?
