Obviously I’m smoking on logic. Are you telling me that the “New Deal” was a greatly successful social experiment in regards to helping the U.S. economy or are we forgetting that the whole thing extended the recession?

Well ... who knows? At the time, people loved it, and Hoover dam is still there. Roosevelt's influence was so pervasive that it's impossible to construct an alternative history with any kind of persuasive power. One way or the other, we grew and prospered.

I will give credit where credit is due and he was a major factor in WWII, but there is just too much information out there based on the failed policies of his social engineering programs(and they most definitely were that). Read that article I sent you, very good information in there as to why people “loved it.” It was basically control of the masses in a politicized way.
