And it got worse, much worse, under Roosevelt.

Stop trying to rewrite history. It doesn't work, and makes you look bad.

FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists
calculate
Meg Sullivan | August 10, 2004



Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression
dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously
thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole
and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies
signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long
years.

Speaking of poor, delusional *******s, here's another one for Gunner,
written by one of the two authors he quotes above -- Lee Ohanian --
that you might want to read.

You DO read these things you quote, don't you, Gunner? GGGG!!!

What - or Who - Started the Great Depression?
by Lee E. Ohanian

Herbert Hoover. I develop a theory of labor market failure for the
Depression based on Hoover's industrial labor program that provided
industry with protection from unions in return for keeping nominal
wages fixed. I find that the theory accounts for much of the depth of
the Depression and for the asymmetry of the depression across sectors.
The theory also can reconcile why deflation/low nominal spending
apparently had such large real effects during the 1930s, but not
during other periods of significant deflation.

One of the funnier things that goes on here is watching Gunner quote
books and authors he never read, and doesn't understand -- and which
often say the exact opposite of what he thought.
