14% unemployment is doing just fine??
You and Obama and the libs view a well performing economy way different than the rest of us.
Without the War the economy was not doing "fine" as you say.
No, FRiend, like any Democrat, you are still ignoring the facts which don't suit your pet theory.
In fact, by the end of 1941, as the graphs clearly show, US unemployment was down around 5% and US employment was the highest ever, to date.
All that was without a US declaration of war.
So FDR did not "need" war for economic reasons, but he did want, as was explained at the time, to help out US allies and to respond to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Soon enough, Hitler declared war on the U.S., and so FDR made defeating Nazi Germany his first priority.
FDR's terms, pretty much from Day One of the U.S. war were: Unconditional Surrender by Axis powers and a United Nations to help prevent future wars.
