Remember I said that the New Deal was being sold to the American people as an alternative to Communism.

I guess hindsight is 20/20. It strikes me as being something akin to having the police say "We want to put web cams in your bedroom to keep the peeping toms away.", and people saying "That sounds like a good idea!".

If people are afraid of an immediate danger, they will often give up a freedom for security, only to find that freedom not returned to them after the danger has passed.
