Re: “,” Aug. 31 editorial.
I’m glad you admit the details on the Democrats’ brand new (old) plan are hazy; they necessarily must be. None of the life-long civil servants proposing this travesty have the foggiest notion on how to create a job that lasts.
When they say “A Better Deal,” they’re trading on FDR’s New Deal, which was nothing more than make-work civil engineering projects that could have been done cheaper and quicker by private industry.
Oh, don’t try to get those massive public projects done now, though. The environmental hurdles put in place by the, oops, Democrats would eat up the money for the project anyway.
Any plan that starts with the idea that the federal government must do something first is a money-eating, self-defeating entitlement that will live on (in infamy, thanks FDR!).
