And by brilliant, of course, I mean insipid.

Also, if "socialized medicine" "swallows up the entire population"...GOOD. We'll finally have a first-world health care system.

After all, it makes PERFECT sense that an abandoned office would have a bunch of allegedly incriminating documents left behind in it. I'm sure there's no way that Rep. Mike Reynolds could be falsifying the documents. Because everyone knows that Republicans never do anything wrong.

That UCLA study was crap on every level. FDR wasn't even IN OFFICE for seven years when the Great Depression ended. Just because somebody somewhere put out a study supporting your beliefs doesn't make them right.

And to Mr. Acton: not only is the "misery index" pseudoscientific crap on a conceptual level, your 13.11 number is also pulled out of thin air.

...when they push the laughable premise that the New Deal extended the Great Depression?

I can see why you have such disdain for smart people, Mr Sowell. You're obviously not one of them.
