heck, I'm just a dumb Marine.
which is so odd; you should be the master of this subject. you should have the relevant authoritative sources at your fingertips, the New Deal was huge in both American history and the development of American governance (cooperative federalism, hello?). you should know this inside and out backwards and forwards and yet you seem ignorant of some of the basics.
Again sir, you seem to confuse two very different things: when I ask you to explain what you believe about something or where you got this information, I am not disagreeing with such things that they did not happen in any way. I am merely asking you to say where you got this information so that your source can be examined by me to see how they are interpreting something that my indeed be open to a wide variety of interpretations and conclusions. Such is the food issue being discussed here.
You also seem unaware that there are significant differences in historians and political scientists about the import and impact of all kinds of things in both fields. Knowledge of basic historical fact is pretty cut and dry. However it can be highly selective as well. Knowing what to select and then interpreting its importance to America and its people is a very different things and that is where people part company.
