→Deficit spending, etc.
::::It's not as thorough a source as I'd like, but it at least suffices to show that this is common knowledge. It also suggests that maybe you should give another editor the benefit of the doubt before reverting and criticizing so quickly. Or maybe you can do a quick google search and learn something for yourself, rather than assuming you know the truth based on one incomplete fact from a single source? We're looking at two sides of the same truth about FDR; why assume that just because FDR did engage in deficit spending that he was not at some point in his career politically and philisophically opposed to it? That's using bias in place of fact. That's not the purpose of Conservapedia as far as I know, but, again, I'm new here, so ''correct me if I'm wrong.''

:::::''Time'' magazine has a motive for misrepresentation. These days, I don't trust ''any'' mainstream-media source without corroboration. Just think "Killian Memoranda" and you'll understand why. (True, that was [[CBS]]' gaffe, and not that of Time-Warner. But I have reason to believe that the only reason why ''Time'' didn't get burned like that is that CBS beat them to the brick-wall punch.)
:::::I'd have a lot more confidence, however, in a citation from FDR's own papers, or Keynes' papers, or dual citations from sites devoted to their memories.
