Obama's following the FDR model, which is why FDR seemed worth revisiting. Except FDR's policy didn't work, so you wonder why we're imitating it.

Maybe Obama just figures FDR had the right idea, he just didn't do enough of it.

People went ape when FDR drove the national debt up to 40% of GDP. Today it's 85%, and within a year it'll be 100%.
