Unemployment average 19% and never dipped below 14% from FDR's inauguration until Hitler conquered France 7 years later, when exactly did this government stimulus work?
It didn't work that well. The government stimulus before Hitler conquered France wasn't big enough. It was the one that happened after Pearl Harbor that was big enough to give everyone jobs and result in lasting growth within a few years.
They waited SIX FUCKING MONTHS BEFORE THEY STARTED SPENDING.
They then spent for TWELEVE FUCKING YEARS and things never got better.
Then they spent a ton more and things got better. Sorry, but the spending during WW II dwarfed the New Deal, any casual look at basic factual history will reveal this to you.
History. Sorry it doesn't jive with you.
Holy fucking shit... Like I said, ZERO accountability. Makes you wonder how Coolidge and Harding had a booming economy for 10 years that they had to pull out of a depression when they came into office... By NOT SPENDING. Ohhh, there are reasons, so many reasons.... But a 12 year depression under a Democrat and it's alllllll Small Government/low taxes fault. LOL, you can't make this shit up.
OMG!
BTW, they cut taxes and spending after the king FDR's 3 terms were over and we recovered... Something most forget, because that would destroy the entire theroy that spending and FDR saved America from the Depression that only last all 3 of his terms as President.
The top tax bracket during the booming 50's was 90%.
But hey - the boom during the late 40's and 50's I'm sure had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that every American who was willing to work had a big fat paycheck in their pocket. We all know its about the SUPPLY side, right?
