A New Deal for New York > Customer Review #1:
A real step toward rebuilding

To rebuild New York City after the effects of 9/11/01 and the slugged (not sluggish, but really slugged) economy, we need the advice of someone who knows both the history and dynamics of New York City inside out. Mr. Mike Wallace is one of the few people who knows both and he has published a small book which should go a long way to save NYC from any more damage, and help it get back to the prestigious position it deserves. Mr. Wallace argues the case that the Federal Government must intervene on NYs behalf on a scale as great as FDRs WPA program. While such Federal intervention is hated by Wall Street and rural America alike, the book reasons that no other institution has the resources AND THE OBLIGATION to help Americas greatest city. I am oversimplifying terribly the argument that Mr. Wallace puts forth, and there are a couple of arguments which seem to be a little too candy-coated. Still, I urge everyone to please pick up this book and decide for yourself. My only hope is that the people who can lead this charge (Mayor Bloomberg, Gov. Patkai, Senators Schumer and Clinton, President Bush) will be brave enough to do so. This is the time for courage.
