FDR did NOT get us out of the Depression.
FDRs policies directly prolonged the Depression by over 13 years.
If Milton Friedman were alive he would state that the Great Depression ended with FDRs death.
If FDR followed the approach that Harding took (cut back government by 50%) it would have been over in less than three years.
“FDR did NOT get us out of the Depression.”
Fair point, I should have added “in their minds”. I agree, the Depression went on a LOT LONGER than it had to, because of FDR.
