Yes, people eat everyday. Including the days that your beloved New Deal paid farmers to plow under crops and bought animals to slaughter to keep them off the market so that prices could remain high. As for the "long run," the Great Depression lasted how long? And it did so because the government intervened. People would have been better off had the government stayed out of it all together.
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work... I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" - Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury
And HOW many human beings would have evaporated you fucking asshole??? As in DEATH you slimy little moron.
How many died because the government got involved?
None...
"In the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal generated growth and reduced the unemployment rate from 25 percent in 1932 to less than 10 percent in 1937. However, the deficit hawks of that era persuaded President Roosevelt to reverse course prematurely and move toward budget balance. The result was a severe recession that caused the economy to contract sharply and sent the unemployment rate soaring."
