So WWII caused the economic expansion. Translated: government spending. So much for the rightwing meme that government spending doesn't create jobs and growth.
You need to cross references your tea party memes better.
And now conservatives are against economic progess. Their decent into total lunacy and irrelevancy continues apace, apace, apace.
Or Translated as conscription and the draft collecting everyone and pushing them into a war zone? Those jobs are what you mean? You Imperialist
You have interperated it completely the wrong way. He means that just because economic progress has been made doesn't make it right (under certain conditions). For Example If the US went into a sudden state of economic boom but welfare collapsed, would it be worth it? (For your views anyway, in mine it would be a triumph)
If what really got us out of the depression was spending on the war, then it was spending, not the war that is critical. So don't spend on war, spend on schools, bullet trains, health care.
.
What makes it right is every Supreme Court case, so teaparty cranks can't win on that issue. It just so happens that it's not only constitutional, but amazing effective economic policy. Go figure!
. Indeed, the security of those earned benefits allowed millions of Americans to be more productive and not have to worry about their next meal.
So what you are saying is just to brush of Pearl Harbour, all the lives lost and the impact it had and concentrate on the "success" that FDR had in his Public Works Administration and all the domestic successes that he had. His programs were only partly responsilbe for recovery.
Whoosh, right over your head!
Desperate tea parties claim it was the war that ended the Depression, not realizing that that's an admission that Keynes was right: spending got us out of the Depression. So it's not war but government spending that has multiplier effects that can get an economy growing in a downturn..
But keep trying to divert. It's fun. I bet you're next post focusses on how the war got us out of the Depression.
If war gets economies out of depression, I have a great idea. Lets' have a gigantic world war-Battle of the continents,everybody in. One catch -we all agree to not to kill each other. Just do all the other war stuff.
Every nation on earth will propser!
