Whether they are pro or con, when most people think of the New Deal, massive

'relief' programs and 'make work' schemes come to mind. But the New Deal's
dictatorial aspects are often overlooked. The totalitarian and counterproductive,
dictates associated with the National Recovery Act (NRA) include wage-
controls, price-controls, production-controls, as well as mandates governing
agriculture and industry.
To manipulate prices upward so that un-payable business loans can be repaid,
farmers are ordered to kill livestock as millions go hungry during the Great
Depression! In one well known case, a New Jersey tailor named Jacob Maged is
arrested and convicted for charging too little to press suits. Upon his release after
3 days, Maged is forced to increase his prices and display a blue NRA sticker on
his shop window. (8) In addition to the NRA, there is the Communist Harry
Hopkins' Works Progress Administration (WPA) - referred to by its critics as
"We Piddle Around". The WPA does build some useful infrastructure, but is, at
its core, an expensive and inefficient ‘make-work’ scheme that becomes the
object of many sarcastic stories about digging and filling up holes.

Left: The "criminal" tailor Maged was arrested, fined, forced to raise his prices,

and obediently put an NRA sign in his shop window.

Right: New Deal insanity. Killing and wasting cattle is good for the economy?!
