Tens of millions of people went to work today by driving on over bridges and through tunnels or out of airports still in service after over 70 years by the people you just claimed didn't have real jobs.
so what you liberal idiot the Romans were building
bridges and tunnels 2000 years ago some of which still function today!!
notice the way you lie and try to change the subject rather than tell us if Morganthau lied??
You asked two questions and I answered one. I have already answered the Morgentheu question in this thread. I have in fact answered both question several time and provided links with my responses. Your generic cut and pace post was an exact replica of one PoliticalChic uses all the time. You must both go to the same rw site to plagiarize post material. The question about the Morgentheu statement was controversial and debated a half century ago. You are just regurgitating and old debating point.
I explained the two standards or differences in judging data just a few post back when I explained and provided a link to show how there were different standards used for judging the economic affects on industry and the affects on the citizens as a whole. I gave you the example of the small factory town. The factory was closed down the the economy sucked. When the WPA projects came to town the citizens did good. The economy was good. Folks had jobs and received pay checks that they went on to spend in the town stores and places of business. The factory however stayed closed and the factory owners said the economy sucked. Morgenthau represented the factory owners. FDR represented the citizens. Morgenthau and Roosevelt had differing priorities. FDR had patience and was willing to wait out the world wide depression. He knew the USA was limited in the 30's as to how it could influence the global economy. If you refuse to accept these simple facts and insist on stubbornly sticking to old agenda driven talking points that omit data not attractive or helpful to your position and distorted quotes you will never learn beyond what you get from opinion dominated commentaries.
BTW, you asked how many people died building the Hoover Dam while comparing working at the Hoover Dam to Stalin's forced labor. Millions died under Stalin's forced labor. 96 people died while building the Dam.
