The new deal is, like, one of three reason that the US isn't a complete shithole. The new deal is responsible for so, so much of the prosperity of the golden age of America that it cannot be understated.


And most of it was struck down immediately, with the dismantling solved by the most serious threat of packing the Supreme Court by the President and his party

what stands out to me is that this President is written about favorable in our history books despite that plan being far more egregious and unprecedented at the time

in any case, the court shifted its tune as a compromise not as a matter of actual opinion of the constitution

and like I previously wrote, everything else was just hard to challenge at all, unless you are a President suddenly trying to fire some folks

the US advancing from a backwater to an economic powerhouse is great! I wonder if we can do it another way without leaning on the Interstate Commerce clause to regulate all facets of American life
