Lots of interesting angry email (mostly in my syndicated column email box) in response to last week’s column on the clamor for a new New Deal. For example:

You are such an ultra right wing zealot that you can,t resist bashing any Democrat for any reason even if it is miles from the truth.When you say that the New Deal didn’t really do what most of these people think it did. That it prolonged it by years is so far from the truth that it is unbelievable. You were not alive then so you . obviously do not know what you are talking about. I was alive in the 30′s and I can tell you that FDR did not immediately end the depression, but he most assuredly did shorten it. I know. I lived it. You can lie all you want to and most people will not know any better but I do. Even when the greatest President in history does something good for the country, you have to lie about it just because he was a Democrat. Incidentally, I have voted Republican most of my life. (Not all) I can’t wait to get this moron out of the White House.
