My point is that from a contemporary, a depression starting from the Oct 29 Stock Market Crash until June 1930 when Smoot Hawley became law, and the economic picture collapsed into the Great Depression, there was a enormous decline in both jobs and economic growth. It like falling into a vast sinkhole and then celebrating one's half-way climb-out, that one may claim, "Ooh! Looky! We've had 8% growth, now only half of us are starving! Wonderful!" WW2 ended the Depression in the USA. Kennedy did so so and was killed, which is the most important feature, not civil right. Johnson had a million males involved in Vietnam or NATO, and this out of the job market. Clinton I had previously mentioned, and Jimmy Carter was so weak and ineffective, that American elected Reagan in response. If we don't look at things in retrospect how can we compare & contrast? Are we to hold these people you like as sacrosanct? You will get an argument regarding Obama's economy and Trumps, because I lived through it and experienced it. On the Great Depression, you needn't argue with me, instead, consider the Library of Congress.https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/great-depression-and-world-war-ii-1929-1945/overview/

And what I am saying is that however you try to explain it away the fact remains that under FDR the economy grew at an astonishing rate, over 8% a year. Come on Spud, you know that if FDR had been a Republican right now you would be screaming about his huge success as loud as you could, but he was a Democrat, he was not a member of your tribe so everything he did must be either stupid or evil or both. > If the New Deal was such a success, Who said anything about the new deal.? And what about the economic success during the Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton and Carter administrations? And what about the dismal economic performance during both Bush presidents and the even worst performance during Trump's administration? At least Truman had an excuse, he had to make the huge transition from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy. > if FDR looked back and had his life to live over again, would he have started >a war against Adolf, defeat the nazis, and laid barriers against Stalin in >Eastern Europe, and blunted, or tried to bring in from the cold that Japanese? >Killing Hitler in 1934 would have changed the world. Talk about Monday morning quarterbacks! So now I guess FDR is to be blamed because he didn't have access to a crystal ball. Anybody can be a genius, in retrospect. > please keep your eye on the crazy employment numbers, I don't think you'd really want me to keep my eye on the employment or rather the unemployment figures during the Trump administration. > but also inflation. And also Vikings, watch out for those damn Vikings!
