PC does not read the stuff she postsNor does she know any history about FDR,
I doubt you know or care that it was FDR who extended the Great Depression by Seven Years! How long did the Great Depression of 1921?
Please read what you posted and fix what is wrong.
What has the year 1921 to do with the Crash in '29 and the failure of all efforts by Hoover to stem the tide?
You dunce....he's pointing out that Harding cured the same sort of recession that Roosevelt inherited, in a year and a half.
"America’s greatest depression fighter was Warren Gamaliel Harding. An Ohio senator when he was elected president in 1920, he followed Woodrow Wilson who got America into World War I, ...Harding inherited the mess, in particular the post-World War I depression – almost as severe, from peak to trough, as the Great Contraction from 1929 to 1933, that FDR inherited and prolonged. Richard K. Vedder and Lowell E. Gallaway, in their book Out of Work (1993), noted that the magnitude of the 1920 depression "exceeded that for the Great Depression of the following decade for several quarters." The estimated gross national product plunged 24% from $91.5 billion in 1920 to $69.6 billion in 1921. The number of unemployed people jumped from 2.1 million in 1920 to 4.9 million in 1921."

Why is it you Leftists are so abysmally ignorant???
Or, is that why you're a Leftist?
While "The Depression" is probably the only economic downturn ever studied in government schools, few ever speak of any depressions or recessions prior to the "Great Depression."
Know how many there were?
Over thirty. And the average length was a year or so.

b. "The Great Depression (1929-39) was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. In the United States, ..."The Great Depression - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com
Know why? 'Cause Roosevelt wanted it to be.
MORE BULLSHIT AND REVISIONIST HISTORY. Actually, it's likely PC didn't read the link she posted, assuming her(?) loyal and biddable followers are too lazy or incapable of reading it.
First of all Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in Oct 1919. To place blame on Wilson is at best dishonest and had he not asked The Congress to declare war on Germany in Apr. 1917 Germany would have occupied GB, France and all of Western Europe.
Nobody else does either
