NRO: What are some of the biggest lies in American history textbooks, in your estimation?
Schweikart: The two that stand out are that the New Deal "got us out of the Depression," which few texts say explicitly but which almost all strongly imply; and that it was reforms under Michael Gorbachev, not the efforts of Ronald Reagan, that ended the Cold War. We provide a chart that I have not seen anywhere else, which is a 50-year look at the New Deal: What did these programs look like 50 years down the road? Of course, they were all disasters. Social Security is in crisis; the farm subsidies had to be repealed; the FSLIC probably contributed to the S&L crash of the late 1970s and early 1980s; and so on.

It is nothing more than propganda rag.
implying that the New York Times and CBS News and the Associated Press and PBS/NPR are bastions of factual reporting who don't accept advertising/funding from and/or don't accept content from writers who are subsidized by Bush opponents ? You might give a glance !
At any rate, your attempt to hijack my thread does not dispute the factual nature of the material quoted in the NRO links.
