A Letter To The Editor Of The New York Times From A Reader In Pittsburgh

 
 
 
The Republican party was the problem in 1936 and they are the problem today. There is no practicality in their philosophy. Keynesian theory makes sense. You prime the pump in times of economic decline by increasing government spending and you raise taxes in prosperous times to control inflation. Together they provide for aeveryone's benefit. But Republicans, who have always been beholding to the rich, are never willing to raise taxes.
