I report, you decide. Well, in fact, it's Harper's Weekly that reports:
The House and Senate reached agreement on a $789 billion economic-stimulus plan, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law despite a lack of support from Republicans. "When Roosevelt did this," said Representative Steve Austria (R., Ohio), "he put our country into a Great Depression. That's just history."
Um, no, Rep. Austria. It's not.
