FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate
Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt. After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian...historynewsnetwork.org
Are you a Phd economist?UCKA what? That 2008 article comes from a professor at the university maybe, but not from UCLA.
Any economist worth his degree would look at M1 supply rather than what they tried.
One does need a PhD in Economics to see the vapidness of their conclusions. Funny that the author's considered the end of the Great Depression to be sometime in 1943? Curious. Or that the end of the Great Depression wasn't increased competition, but massive government spending.Are you a Phd economist?
You didn't answer my question.One does need a PhD in Economics to see the vapidness of their conclusions. Funny that the author's considered the end of the Great Depression to be sometime in 1943? Curious. Or that the end of the Great Depression wasn't increased competition, but massive government spending.
Or that they failed to consider capitalism's turn of the century history of monopoly and robber barrens. Or that union membership peaked in the 1950's when American was the industrial engine of the world.
Also, curious that they failed to mention the republic recession in 1938 during the Depression. Republic pols forced an election year policy of balanced budget and caused unemployment to again rise. The problem wasn't competition, but a lack of money supply.
Not even a masters? Hmmm....I guess a Phd would know MUCH more than you, huh?I actually have a BS in Economics dude.

Also, those author's forget the first 4 years of the Great Depression. Why don't you post those GDP and unemployment numbers while Hoover waited for America to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.Since when do subject matter experts matter to conservatives?
Not on climate change?
Or whether supply side economics work?
Ivermectin?
Vaccines?
If libertarian economics works so damned good, why is it not practiced anywhere?
I really hate to say this but I'm beginning to think you just might be on to something.Every race and tribe of people has the right to self determination for themselves and their people as whole. The melting pot experiment has failed and its never been more obvious than the last decade.
Geezsus, I'm starting to hate fucking stupid racist people.I really hate to say this but I'm beginning to think you just might be on to something.
Pre-Obama America was finally showing signs of a color blind society and racial harmony.
But post-Obama America appears to have been the beginning of its decline and eventual end.
lolYes, and I'm sure there's a tranny, waiting outside your house to follow her into the bathroom.
Let me just get to the point. Fuck you, and your culture war
