Another thing you won’t read from the politically correct history books is that FDR’s policies were just bigger versions of Hoover’s, and instead of ending the depression, lengthened it by about 7-8 years.
In fact, in 1938 (I believe), the unemployment rate went up even higher to almost 25%. The recession did not officially end until almost a year after Pearl Harbor. The statist policies of Hoover and FDR were a disaster, and sound very much like the rhetoric of Obama and Clinton.
