If it took WWII for America to get out of the depression that is evidence that FDR's New Deal did not spend nearly enough.
The depression required war-time spending. We now know from FDR and the Great Depression that the amount of money spent must be ample. We also know from the same sources that the program to end the depression cannot be stopped as soon as their are indications the depression is leaving. At least we now have some kind of answer to depressions that we didn't have when FDR took office.
So if a president today said he was going to abandon anti-trust law and allow corporate collusion do drive competition out of business and raise prices you would think it's a sound policy
How about the time FDR took over all production in this country and told business what they could produce, who they could hire and what supplies they could get ?
And you refuse to answer my question
Is abandoning anti trust law and allowing corporate collusion to eliminate competition in order to drive up prices sound economic policy?
Does it make sense to slaughter 6 million pigs so as to drive up the price of pork when people were going hungry?
This is exactly what FDR did yet you celebrate him while you would certainly excoriate any president for doing so today
