Yes, Barry,we are a nation of takers.

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.

Or Translated as conscription and the draft collecting everyone and pushing them into a war zone? Those jobs are what you mean? You Imperialist

And now conservatives are against economic progess. Their decent into total lunacy and irrelevancy continues apace, apace, apace.

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)

Whoosh, right over your head.

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.

Only now at the end does he understand.

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!

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.

1. You never answered my question
2. What if the supreme court was wrong and wields to much power, considering FDR attempted to pack the supreme court with democrats to help support him, i dont think that is consitutional.

. Indeed, the security of those earned benefits allowed millions of Americans to be more productive and not have to worry about their next meal.

Considering the average weight of Americans now a days, it seems like that's the only thing they are worried about.:lamo

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.

That was right for the situation, plus the war to get the economy turning round and functioning again, might I add that Keynes was British?

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.

And i'm the one who is diverting from "So WW2 Caused the economic expansion", the war was a contributing factor to getting America out of the depression there is no denying that. Just like there are multiple factors for everything.

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!

I never said anything like that, i said that WW2 was a contributing factor to the recovery of the USA after the Great Depression. I never said that it was the war and war alone that recovered the USA
