is it just me

am i missing something or does this article contradict itself in that it says "in one year it cost $1 billion" however later it says "during its 5 month run it cost half a billion" , so how long did it last, 5 months or a year? if im just being stupid and am not noticing something then just ignore me Alucard123 19:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article also says at the end that The Supreme Court made the New Deal and all of it acts and administrations illegal. This didn't happen either!

Very True. The Supreme Court did not make this illegal. It made certain sections of the New Deal illegal (AAA, NRA). This was ended b/c it was inteded to be temporary winter relief only.

I agree, the "Opposition" section needs to be re-worded drastically or just removed.

Yep, very flawed indeed, the New Deal and many of its programs continued until 1943, and some programs (TVA, S.S., SEC) exist today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.35.219 (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like it was written by a teenager or something who thought they could write a page because they just got through with that chapter in their book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.254.44.122 (talk) 11:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
