Soot-Hawley-if I remember my history properly- also helped spread the Depression worldwide and lengthened it by quite a few years...gotta love them demoRATS.
Nothing scares 'em more than capitalism.
Nothing helped lengthen the Depression like the New Deal. In 1936, things were worse than in 1932, and in 1940 they weren't any better. Then FDR got lucky and we got attacked. The resulting war rescued the economy, and Democrats have always given the New Deal credit, evne though all ti di was make the destruction worse.
