As usual, the right wing uses illogical and mean spirited nonsense to arrive at silly conclusions. It is a well known fact that WWII was the final step out of the great depression, but the right wing would use the final step as the entire ladder, ignoring the fact that the new deal's work programs kept thousands of families fed and sheltered creating economic stimulation while providing an infrastructure that helped make America the modern and great nation that it is today.
Of course keeping the common man fed and clothed by government policies and actions is anathema to the right, because it smacks of socialism or communism or some other "ism" that, to a true blue right winger, equals evil government.
Despite the obvious disconnect between the Christian idea of helping those less fortunate and the idea that doing so is an evil and scary thing, the right wing will cling to their failed ideology of anything goes, caveat emptor, laissez-faire capitalism even if it requires blinders and some serious revisions of history.
And despite the obvious disconnect that money earned by the common man financially supports enterprises that in turn, financially support even more jobs and money, keeping the cycle of economic growth and prosperity going, the right wing demonizes the common worker's pay and benefits as the source of economic evil.
Very sad, very strange.
