Bill Cunningham tonight repeated the canard that WWII ended the Depression. Then, a liberal caller pointed out that, if that's true, it means that government spending and borrowing can end a depression. Cunningham had no answer.
Of course, the answer is that WWII didn't end the Depression. The Depression didn't end until 1946. WWII took place DURING the Depression.
Nope. Worse. You have a Gen-X child who remembers his Grandfather, a WWII Veteran, telling him exactly what this thread says. The Depression didn't really end until AFTER WWII.
That’s too bad. Would be great to hear straight from the source! I have a grandfather myself, but he’s too young!
