File Under: New Deal worked...

To all of you out there who just love to ignore facts cause they get in the way of your beliefs, please check out the graphs my good friend, at Penguin Monkey, has posted. Please note the way the economy faltered when they cut the programs to balance the budget.

I hate to be one of "those people"

but doesn't that graph simply show that it didn't work?

I mean

if the % jump after the new deal was implemented was 45%

and the percentage jump for the 4 years after it was abandoned was 45% (including the spike downwards)

doesn't that indicate that the Stimulus didn't do anything?

In any case, does this mean if our production doesn't jump by 45% in the next four months I can blame Obama?
