Truman's economic policies were flat-out retarded. "New Deal Part II", tried to take over the entire health care and educational system at the time, promoted price controls, supported a permanent active warfare State (Contrary to what Founders envisioned), seized steel mills, kicked-started the 1950s recessions..., come on now.

Only situation that saved the US at the time was a bombed out and depleted Europe which needed to be rebuilt. Between the economic demands of FDR's policies/regulations and Truman's continued big government plans, stuff was getting worse.

President Truman was put in that position by God, just like Trump was. Why? To support Israel becoming a nation, which Mr. Truman did. But, has any dim ever done anything real good for the economy? He did what his primary reason for being president was, endorse Israel as a nation. Job done, Israel was a state again. If it had been any other Dim, they would have follow Marshal’s advice to not support Israel as a state again. Marshal had threatened Truman with voting for his opponent in the election if he did support Israel. Truman did not blink. Marshal backed down and did not put up any further fight. That is why I was saying Harry did a good job. Plus, he did drop the big one on the Japanese, twice. Took stones.
