The evidence for the New Deal accomplishing any of those things is virtually non existent. For example, the 1937-38 downturn was nearly as bad as the 1930 one, and the economy wasn’t restored until WW2 started.
- bhupy 7y agoI believe you, but you're going to need to provide some sources for that.
- valuearb 7y agoGoogle unemployment and GDP levels.
- bhupy 7y agoProvide the sources, nobody on this forum is going to jump through hoops to change their minds.
- valuearb 7y agoI’m not jumping through hoops for those to lazy to find easily google-able and commonly known economic history. Any freshman economics books has the statistics too. The 1937 recession almost cost FDR the election. The unemployment rate didn’t reach normal levels again until the US entered the war.
- bhupy 7y agoI agree with you, I'm just giving you feedback here: if your goal is to change minds, it is in your best interest to provide sources directly. Nobody will care that you didn't want to jump through hoops if you've lost the ideological argument in the court of public opinion.
