Marks: +1, -0

Contrary to the charges made by some of its opponents, the provisions of the new deficit-reduction law for indiscriminate cuts in the federal budget are justified. Opponents should remember that the New Deal pulled this country out of great economic troubles even though some of its programs were later found to be unconstitutional.
The opponents could effectively defend their position against the author’s strategy by pointing out that

the expertise of those opposing the law is outstanding
the lack of justification for the new law does not imply that those who drew it up were either inept or immoral
the practical application of the new law will not entail indiscriminate budget cuts
economic troubles present at the time of the New Deal were equal in severity to those that have led to the present law
the fact that certain flawed programs or laws have improved the economy does not prove that every such program can do so
