Anyone who believes that the New Deal did anything other than to prolong the Great Depression is an idiot. World War II ended it. As FDR’s first-two-terms Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau stated for the record, the New Deal worsened things, not least by adding massively to the debt.

Read about the Depression of 1920. The government didn’t get involved and it was over in a year.

Actually the great depression ended when FDR’s “cures” were repealed.

Especially when John Kennedy’s tax cuts took effect.

WW2 quite literally destroyed the excess productive capacity of much of the civilized world. World war is of a painful way to end a world-wide recession if you ask me. But all of the major world leaders throughout the ‘30’s were some sort of socialist — I include FDR, BTW.
