The New Deal turned a normal recession into a depression.

It took WW2 to end the economic mess the new deal created.

Democrats have a good scam going, and they have been able to employ it for desired results for nearly 100 years.

Step one: Pass legislation that destroys the economy.

Step two: Pass legislation that seemingly helps those that were hurt the most by step one.

Step three: If something happens (like a war) and the economy eventually starts to recover on it own from the shock of Step 1, claim credit for the recovery and hail the measures taken in Step two as cause of the recovery. Then go back and repeat step one with additional destructive legislation.

Meanwhile all the while vilifying any attempt by anyone to stop or repeal anything done in step 1 or 2 and instead blame the decenter's for the economic destruction.

I call it THE RAW DEAL!

The rest of the world suffered thru the Depression.

America suffered thru the GREAT Depression due to FDR’s FOLLIES!

I have read a lot of books about him and W Wilson.
