In a survey of economic historians conducted by Robert Whaples,
Professor of Economics at Wake Forest University,
Whaples sent out anonymous questionnaires to members of the Economic
History Association. Members were asked to
either disagree, agree, or agree with provisos with the statement that
read: "Taken as a whole, government policies
of the New Deal served to lengthen and deepen the Great Depression."

But Professor Whaples survey said " Taken as a whole " . I would have
disagreed with that statement as some of the government polices served
to shorten the Great Depression and taken as a whole the government
polices did not serve to lengthen and deepen the Great Depression.


Actually..they did lengthen and deepen the GD.

History cannot be changed.


One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
