I was responding to what he said in the video. He advocates FDR style government response but all FDR did was waste time until the fed stopped taking money out of the economy and start pumping money into the economy in large amounts. These two switches by the fed are both what caused the great depression and what ended it. FDR gets credit because no one understood or was paying attention to what the fed was doing. All FDR did was create some gov institutions and use some of the feds money. It just makes me scratch my head to hear a professor from such a prestigious school say things like this.

Do you have some specifics? I'd love to hear what he proposes as an alternative. Especially since we've effectively gone to Plan B with today's nay vote.

However I'm not sure his call that FDR style economic experimenting and the setting up of new government run institutions like Fannie and Freddie are the answer.
