I disagree with Black that people in make-work projects should not be counted amongst the unemployed. Now, it's true that they were working and I do think that they built many important and useful projects were created by them, but the purpose of a stimulus is to spur the private sector.

And that, FDR did not do until war production started.

“And that, FDR did not do until war production started.”


I heard that whatever restrictions FDR put on the private sector were lifted, once war production started, and this is why Gov’t spending (war spending) actually got us out when the New Deal didn’t.

True?
