Hmmm...I see from the table that unemployment finally declined from 17% to 14% in 1940, so the Democrat's policies must have been what finally lowered the unemployment rate, right?
Well, not really...
"We must and will marshal our great potential strength to fend off war from our shores. We must and will prevent our land from becoming a victim of aggression."
His retarded policies never restored prosperity and they never ended sky-high unemployment.
His policies were a complete failure.
The only reason unemployment began dropping in 1940 is that hundreds of thousands, and eventually millions, of able bodied young men were removed from the work force by a newly reinstated military draft.
After WWII, the United States was the only industrialized nation not in smoldering ruins and for this reason we experienced prosperity after the war.
"The economy grew at 4.5% in 1983, with a few quarters of growth north of 8%. In 2011, meanwhile, the economy grew just 1.7%. In just one month -- September 1983 -- the economy added more than a million jobs. For the full year, the economy added almost 3.5 million jobs, a trend that continued into 1984, an election year in which Reagan captured 49 states in a landslide victory."

How boneheaded. It is like saying. I got kicked in the shin and went jogging the next day. You got ran over by a bus and were in traction for six months. Boy, you must be a wimp!!!
Wasn't that an effective regulation for many years? Would Reagan had avoided getting something like that passed? If so what would have been the results of not passing it?

Name calling?
Truth hurt?
"We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. . . . We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. . . . And an enormous debt to boot!â€
F.D.R.s 86.3 % GDP growth is the fastest 8 year GDP growth in American history.
Almost three times faster than Brain-dead Reagan.
That is a historical FACT.

F.D.R. cut 7 times as much off of the unemployment rate than did Brain-dead Reagan.
That is a historical FACT.
we would not have had a unconstitutional socialized security, nor do I believe that RR would have sent the military after the WWI veterans either. I also do not think NFA34 would have been passed either, plus a whole slew of other federal "regulations".
He would have been much better than FDR. Reagan loved the American people and believed they could do almost anything if government just got out of there way. FDR believed Americans wanted more welfare programs and declared war on the wealthy and business community. FDR just made the depression the Great Depression.
You really need to read about the relationship between Reagan and the CIA.
EDDIE - They are not lying. They actually believe their own crap.
If Ronnie Raygun was calling WW2 we would still be fighting in the Pacific and possibly with the USSR.
doubtful. plus the fact that RR probably would not have gone for 4 terms, unlike the socialist thug fdr did.
