The Real Story About What Ended The Great Depression

[regent]

Well, like it or not, FDR, since 1948, was rated by American historians as one of the top three American presidents and recently rated as the best US president. So much for the historians but what of the people? Well the people elected FDR four times in a row, so who does that leave? It leaves some posters, most of whom never experienced the Great Depression trying to cast doubt on the historians and on the people of that era. So what hurts them so much, that they have to call the historians commies and the people of the Greatest Generation, stupid?

It is hard to say who was the worst POTUS, since there were so many bad ones, but FDR is right up there....without question.

No, I think it is with question. Who put FDR in the bad catagory?

Well, since the majority of history professors are leftists it isn't hard to see how they would rate a socialist President as one of the top 3 Presidents...as time goes by and hopefully one day history professors become more rational and less partisan then fdr will be seen for what he was...the guy who prolonged the Great Depression by lefty theories of interfering with the economy...

 

[2aguy]

And before you ask...here is a survey of American history professors and their ideological leanings...

Survey finds that professors already liberal have moved further to the left insidehighered

Here are the data for the new survey and the prior survey:

2010-11	2007-8
Far left	12.4%	8.8%
Liberal	50.3%	47.0%
Middle of the road	25.4%	28.4%
Conservative	11.5%	15.2%
Far right	0.4%	0.7%

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

You can pretty much assume that the "middle of the road" are lefties as well...they just like to pretend to be fair...

So wow...that left wing history professors would say the biggest socialist until bill "the serial sexual predator" clinton and barak "nero" obama was one of the best Presidents...not a surprise...

Who put FDR in the bad catagory?

people who study actual history without trying to put a leftist bias into it...

Once we get past November and World War III becomes official the Great Obamacession will quickly end and there'll be full employment. Only question is whether that full employment will be in The U.S. or in China- where most stuff is manufactured now that American industry has been dismantled.

We need Mitt in 2016. Maybe he can get some of the factories he sent over there returned to the US.

Bain Capital's record as a PE firm is atrocious; something like 50% of those companies they took 'private' and 'reorganized' went bankrupt. Not a 'business' record that makes one feel like he's a great choice for anything. I certainly wouldn't want him running any company I had a piece of. He's perfect for the ignorant types who believe in 'free trade' and other fantasies, of course. Labor racketeering and shell games is what 'globalism' and 'free trade' is all about.

 

[regent]

So which comes first, the liberalism and then the history, or the history and then the liberalism?

I hope Mitt sits out 2016...

The RWnuts make this argument all the time without realizing that when they claim that WWII ended the depression,

they are referring to the biggest government spending program in the history of the republic.

Following your convoluted logic one would have to conclude that Obama's massive spending would work....but it has not.

Oh well...what we need is a world war that kills millions to end the Great Recession.

We've been out of recession since 2009.

What Really Ended the Great Depression – Redux


This is a continuation of a previous post by this author. It seems to me that he made some very good points to include the large increase in production due to Lend Lease and then WWII. That and the shrinkage of government afterward.
