The "New deal" did not get us out of the great depression, it simply prolonged it. But if you are taught by the liberal professors in our colleges today you will be indoctrinated just as Brdgemon must be. The great depression is only known to be the "Great" depression here as the rest of the world pretty much did not go through it. By "not" having a "new deal" put upon them the rest of the world recovered in a normal fasion as it did not have government "fixing" the problem. When Woodrow Wilson left office in 1921 he left the country in a severe depression. The early 20`s was actually very similar to the great depression here, but the rest of the world did not experience. But by electing 2 conservative presidents in a row it created the "roaring twenties". When President Coolidge continued the same policies of the late President Harding (died in office) the roaring twenties happened as the country seen enormous success. Unfortunatley the stock market became artificially raised as speculators jumped in with both feet and "black Friday " happened as the market needed a correction in the highest form. Black Friday put the entire world in a crises and the Great depression began. The country then elected President Hoover, although a republican he was much more of what we would call a RINO today. The country began experiencing more government control. Instead of continuing the policies that created the roaring 20`s, he began a "bigger " government mentality which maintained the depression. Then electing President Roosevelt (1933) the control became the policy as "The new deal" was put in place. Government control skyrocketed while the the economy sank, unemployment remained near or over 20%, personnel income crashed and the economy never recovered until the start of world war 2 in 1941. So common sense should tell you that "The new deal" was implemented in 1933, it took a World War (1941) to get this country back employed. The "New Deal" did not bring this country out of the great depression. After 8 years of these policies it took the World War to get the country back working and to start growing the economy again. You would have to find a "neutral" professor to be taught this history or as I have myself, talk to historians, professors, do your own research and form your own opinion. If you listen to your liberal professors they basically rewrite history as they preach to you what they WANT you to believe. Thay way you will continue to push the proggresive movement. In many ways we are reliving the 30`s now as this president is following "The big government" mentality. I believe in 2012 we will elect a much more conservative president and the roaring 20`s will again be upon us. Just reversing the policies of this administration will move the economy up at a strong pace.
