The New Deal vs. Today's Plutocracy
Hi Everyone,
I recently made a presentation highlighting the programs & accomplishments of the New Deal. If you have 8 minutes to spare sometime, check it out. If you're not already familiar with the New Deal, I think you'll appreciate why things are so messed up today.
As we've pushed aside the New Deal, and embraced plutocracy, we've been condemned to perpetual economic insecurity--high unemployment, low wages, homelessness, high personal debt, worthless degrees & trade skills, the largest prison system in the history of the world, etc., etc.
In my New Deal presentation: Social Security, rising GDP, a minimum wage, work opportunities for the unemployed, FDIC, Glass-Steagall, national defense improvements...and a lot more.

Great presentation Brent. The New Deal put people back to work to build a nation. Now we need another New Deal to maintain, repair, and improve what was already built, to dispell any doubt that America is the greatest nation in the world.

Thanks jmainframe. With respect to your greatest nation observation, I frequently tell people that if you add up all the work of the New Deal job & construction programs--WPA, PWA, CCC, NYA, CWA--you have the largest work and construction program in human history. It's something we should be proud of, yet few people realize it or know about it. It's really amazing.
