Miss Francis im slightly confused by the Blog directions, the syntax is a bit awkward and hard to decihper. Im also not sure if there is a major error in the quote we are suppouse to comment on...I did the notes though

I'll bug you in class about it, it's due 7:00 P.M. Monday right?

Hey Ms. Francis!
I must agree with Justin and John. I really don't understand that quote, it sounds to me like a part was left out or somthing. I also did the notes.
See you tomorrow!

Like my peers before me, I also don’t understand the quote which the comment is to be based on. I have also completed the copious notes for the assigned textbook reading.

Part WAS left out- silly me!

The post should read:

"It has been said that the Great Depression and the eight years of the New Deal marked a radical shift in the US economy as the nation abandoned a policy of mainly laissez fair capitalism for a more Keynesian approach of promoting economc growth and stability.

To what extent do you believe the policies of the New Deal relieved and solved the problems of the Great Depression. Further, did the New Deal promote a sustainable econmic model?"

You may respond to this question for extra credit, but this is optional. Jakub, do the reading.
