Amity Shlaes is on a one-woman campaign to discredit Franklin Delano Roosevelt's economic record, aka the New Deal. She's at it again, today the Washington Post giving her the white space for her slippery and ultimately wrong arguments.

She's full of crap and false statements. I'm too lazy to go into detail.

Check out Edge of the American West, which has had several excellent entries about her (most recent one here, although I bet there will be a new one this week!). Or read Paul Krugman, who knows a thing or two about economics.
