[lbo-talk] views on stimulus: now vs. 1938

[Steven L. Robinson]

Perhaps. But polling was much less of an exact science 70 years ago. The leading poll during the 1936 Presidential election,  taken by a magazine called "Literary Digest" - if memory serves - had Landon defeating FDR.  SR

Amazing. The American public is slightly less reactionary now than in  

1938. Who knew?

Wonder what the nums would have looked like had Obama pounded  

Republicans from the start, and made the Keynesian case forcefully.  

Not that he would, of course. But it would be interesting.
