I said it before, the only other person who talked so much about his intelligence was Freddo Corleone so I always think of you as USMB's Freddo.
1. The initial premise of this thread was indoctrination vs. education using the Imaginary Greatness of FDR as the centerpiece. We were taught that FDR was great. We were taught that FDR saved Capitalism and the Middle Class prospered under FDR, but when we look at the record and question instead of sane, logical answers like "the New Deal dropped unemployment to 4% within 2 years" like we could say about how Harding, Coolidge and Mellon handled a similar economic circumstance a decade before, we are given platitudes and treated as heretics. That's not education, that's faith.
What year did FDR's New Deal end the Depression?
2. Freddo, name one person whose life was ruined by McCarthy. I can name many genuine 100% USSR Certified Communist spies who were outed by Sen McCarthy.

You still don't get it. Not that I'm surprised. Keep in mind these words: "There are liears, damn liars and statistics". But I'm sure that's way over your head too.
Sure, Freddo.
Sure.
Watch and learn how it works works with education instead of indoctrination.
"The economic situation in 1920 was grim. By that year unemployment had jumped from 4 percent to nearly 12 percent, and GNP declined 17 percent. No wonder, then, that Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover falsely characterized as a supporter of laissez-faire economics urged President Harding to consider an array of interventions to turn the economy around. Hoover was ignored.
Instead of "fiscal stimulus," Harding cut the government's budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding's approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third.
...By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and it was only 2.4 percent by 1923."

Real numbers. Real Success. Real Greatness.
Ahh yes. The Roaring Twenties.
Too bad Barry doesn't read history. He might learn how to govern.
