Not true. In terms of spending to GDP and spending to Debt, FDR percentually spent much, much more.
You do realize that $1,000,000 in 1933 was a helluva lot more money than today, right?
So, you can never do a 1:1 dollar to dollar comparison between economies from different eras, that never works. But the percentual analysis does.
Righties who do not understand this are absolute fools. Like you.
We come out of a recession eventually...in spite of the government.
There have been good cases made that FDR's meddling both deepened and extended the depression.
Good cases? Oh you mean right wing 'think tanks' rewriting history and leaving out that when FDR listened to the deficit scolds in 1937, and cut spending 10%, the US went back into the GOP great depression.....
I see you have the JKG Book of Fairy Tales. Keep at it. I like to laugh.
