Spain also went the austerity route. They are now basically in a depression, with over 23% unemployment.hahahahahahah
Your ideas FAILED you idiots.
They failed yet again right before our elections.
So what do you idiots do?
double down on stupidity and failed ideas.
Paul Krugman is being proven correct with each passing day.
Guess what caused the Dust bowl?
bad farming policy.
The government should have been ordering people NOT to leave feilds bare.
That is how government controls these types of disasters.
You people think we should just be stupid and let disasters happen

Now they pay people not to farm. Where's your outrage?
Im sure you will rewrite history to make the dust bowl FDRs fault huh?
US GDP had fallen from 103.6 billion in 1928 to 58.7 billion in 1932, 43% before Roosevelt took office due 12 years of failed Republican control of government. After Roosevelt took office and the voters threw the Republicans out of Congress, GDP increased every year of the Roosevelt administration.You seem to forget 12 straight years of Republican control of the government that ushered in the Great Depression.1. Which facts would those be, dotty?
2. Care to try this little test?
a. Was there a recession/depression in 1920 as well as one in 1930?
b. Did the Republican institute laissez-faire free market strategies, and
did the Democrat institute Keynesian command and control strategies?
c. Was not the Republican successful in solving the crisis, i.e., ending same in
18 months?
And was the Democrat a woeful failure, leaving Americans to suffer for almost
a decade and a half?
Ooo....hurts, doesn't it?
3. A little friendly advice...don't use that second word in your post.....makes the unintentional humor too obvious....
Do you believe that recessions, 'corrections,' are a natural part of the business cycle?
FDR's well-deserved criticism is that he took a recession and turned it into a 'Great Depression' by operating as though he knew better than the free market.
Did you want to take a crack at a, b, c, above?

I'm sure you think we should have continued with Republican leadership that gave us 2 recessions and the Great Depression in 6 years? Thankfully, the voters decided to deny Republicans control of government for 20 years.US GDP had fallen from 103.6 billion in 1928 to 58.7 billion in 1932, 43% before Roosevelt took office due 12 years of failed Republican control of government.

1. You've declined my invitation to answer a, b, and c?
Could it be because they highlight the mistakes that FDR made...and that you seem willing to endorse?
Could be?
2. Todays economic problems are largely due to FDRs Second Bill of Rights which led to LBJ's "War on Poverty," and, ultimately Student loans, CRA, ObamaCare.
3. The essence of FDR can be found in his Second Bill of Rights speech, in which he propounded the following rights:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
a. As citizens were awarded these rights by FDR, he fully conceived of an obligation of citizens to pay all of the taxes necessary to provide these rights.
b. The Founders saw rights as God-given, and without imposition on others, i.e., speech. Clearly, the above are not rights, but are entitlements.
4. The huge tax burden necessary to provide the rights and fund federal welfare programs can be laid at the feet of the New Deal. Before 1940, only 5% of Americans paid any income tax, and the maximum was 25%. By the end of WWII, 2/3 of American families paid income tax- and it started at 24%, with a $500 exemption.
a. It went up to 94% over $200k. So, if one earned $300k, one kept only $6000 of the last $100k.
b. Withholding was re-introduced so the government got the money immediately. (Had been repealed in 1916.)
5. The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. Happy Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: [A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we haveand that is the basis of obligationand the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.

So....this is what you want to support?
Just want a little clarity of you position.

they spent too much, and couldn't meet thier obligations, period.
What makes you think they couldn't meet their obligations?
Are you joking? They already had the biggest default in world history.
