>>>>>I took many classes in statistics.

Highly doubtful.

>>>>>How about a link to your figures?

Still not paying attention. My post to you at #376 gives you a pdf link. I also mentioned your inattentiveness at #387. If you want to debate, get your facts straight and stop creating falsehoods.

Please, if you were so knowledgeable about statistics, you would know that such statistics from the 1930’s are not accurate as people lived and died at home or on the road often without benefit of a birth certificate or a death certificate. This is why we will never know how many perished in the great depression specifically between 1929 and 1933, when Roosevelt sent help to ordinary Americans.

In fact, those at most risk would not have been counted as many were on the move after the dust bowl and losing their homes.If you believe that no one died during the depression via hunger or other depression related ways, then you are incorrect and your opinion is unreasonable...based on ideology rather than logic.

This is not a partisan issue. History is what it is...Hoover’s policies worsened the economic crisis...particularly the fed policy and many believe Smoot-Hawley (I don’t). Roosevelt lowered the unemployment rate significantly (those figures don’t even count the WPA and CCC jobs as well as other ‘government’ employment) and kept people going. It was 20 years before Americans took a change on a GOP president.
