[QUOTE]Originally posted by MeGotBeer: [QB] I'd call you an idiot, but I think that's a generally wide-held opinion of you held here. You're right, the Depression did go on. However, you're apparently ignoring the fact that production and consumption maintained steady growth (although they never did regain pre-Crash levels) after FDR took office. Roosevelt propped up the economy with a series of programs to give people jobs. All Hoover wanted to do was sit in the White House and let people suffer. Let's take a look at the WPA, one of Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs ... (Works Progress Administration, later the Works Projects Admin) The WPA was responsible for 10% of new roads in the US, not to mention hospitals, city halls, courthouses and schools. It built the Lincoln Tunnel in NY, the Triborough Bridge system, the East River Drive (now the FDR Drive), the Fort Knox gold depository, and both the Bonneville and Boulder (now Hoover) dams. And guess what? The men who worked for the WPA had ... jobs! And could feed their families! All Hoover wanted to do was let the economy "sort itself out." Hoover got himself elected on "general prosperity" in 1928, and he got kicked out of office for fucking the country up the ass. And you keep ignoring, Omega, the basic fact that Conservatives of the day tended to be isolationists. And isolationists didn't want to enter World War II, and probably wouldn't have to the extent that visonaries like FDR (who realized that a Nazi Germany was a threat to freedom) wanted to. Essentially: you've got a blind hatred for liberals which makes you out to be a rather ignorant fool. And it makes you quite the laughing stock on Flare. It'd be nice if you could actually try and look at things impartially without replacing "Democrat" with "athiest god-hating scum-sucking communist liberal fucker." Have a nice day. And, er, try and read a history book at some point in your life instead of blindly accepting the indoctrination you're recieving. Or get a life. [/QB][/QUOTE]
