ARARA not big deal compared to New Deal

AKA: Jobs Bill / Stimulus Package
Compared to GNP and federal budget:

more to come.(xe.com)
But anacronistic comparisons to Iraq War?
Less than New Deal, and second New Deal.

[Update 2-16-09]
This post originated on the premise that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARARA) is supposed to be the biggest economic bill in history, which the above Factbook (xe.com)link clearly disputes. But the saintliness and ruinousness of the New Deal may be just what Obama ordered. In other words: hopefully, lessons learned.

More to learn?
Next Stimulus
Bill Rekindles
Plan Bolder

Speaking of Shout Out and the American Dream: I woke up and googled Apples and Oranges Economics and then this was in my email from Thrasymachus.
