I expect to come back and complete this thought more thoroughly. That being said, in a continuing theme about intellectual dishonesty - The New Deal worked.
I can respect one disagreeing with the New Deal on a philosophical term. But do not tell me that the New Deal did not work. The programs of the New Deal cut unemployment by 40%. If we were able to cut unemployment by 40% today we would be down to 4.5. The New Deal left 37 dams in the TVA providing more than jobs. It provided a chance for citizens to be productive and proud. The TVA brought millions of people into the modern era of electricity. The New Deal left behind roads, and sewers many of which are still in use today. Take a look at a few of the things the New Deal provided http://www.newsweek.com/id/179874.

From Pat Buchanen of all people, Industrial output was back upto 1929 levels by 1936. While unemployment still around 15% this was down from a peak of 25%. A great portion of that 85% that was employed were actually making something to be left behind for future generations.
Do not tell me the New Deal did not work.
