“Whether you
agreed with the New Deal program or not, you could always actually define it in
terms that were internally self-consistent. Broadly speaking, it was a broad
agreement among various groups that America’s most pressing problems could be
managed and ameliorated on a broad scale through ‘expert’ and judicious
government intervention; and that such intervention dampened the uncertainty
and anxiety that might otherwise cause societal panics and economic dislocations.
Again: you don’t have to agree with that (I don’t) to recognize
that it existed as a coherent policy.
But
now that has gone by the wayside, to be replaced with a system that… apparently
plans to trade support for permanent government dependency programs for
minorities, in exchange for legislating the fringe progressive morality of
affluent urbanites.”
