bebe, shuffle that shit on another blog. This is what you claim, "The main part of the New Deal didn't come in for years".

Facts contradict your recollection of fiscal policy ex War Production Board.

there's no need for this sort of confrontational crap, Cat.  He's not 'shuffling shit' or ignoring your facts, he's having a good faith disagreement with your presentation of them and what they mean.

I suspect that more than Cat, myself and Jake have doubts about that.

Bad faith is always the easiest thing to assume about an opponent.

If you could stick to the arguments that would be nice.

I try to act on a presumption of good faith, despite doubts, until things become obvious. That also has the beneficial effect of allowing me to re-read things when I am in a different state of mind.

Yeah, well, next time you decide to make accusations of bad faith, would you be so kind as to leave me out of it?

I'm not seeing any bad faith here. I'm seeing a clash of frames and a marked difference in tactical and perhaps ideological analysis.

I have to say that I have encountered this argument from Hillary Clinton supporters surprisingly often.
