Two cornell professors detailed how FDR's New Deal is effecting President Obama's current policy decisions.

To the Editor:

It’s unfortunate that we have not seen more coverage of an unprecedented event in our nation’s history, occurring as we speak covered in more detail here in The Sun. The stimulus bill currently being debated before Congress is massive in scale and scope on a level before seen in our nation’s history.

We have all read about the programs of the New Deal in our history books and how they permanently changed the role of government in our society. Today we face a bill that even in inflation-adjusted dollars dwarfs those game-changing social programs.
