"For every 1 economist that says TND prolonged the depression there are at least 2 who say it got us out of it." And yet almost every single economist states that the main factor that pulled us out of the depression was WWII. We were in a recession prior to the spending then once all the governmental work camps started we fell into the depression. After that we saw the growning war in Europe, once this started US ship building, tank manufaturing, and all went up. Once the war hit nearly every single American was working to build Jeeps, Tanks, Planes, weapons, ammunition, or fighting in the war itself. After the war people started to buy the tools made for the war and we saw the airling industry explode, the automobile has many new improvements and the introduction to the masses of the Jeep. War saved us that time. Why are we constantly repeating history instead of learning from it?
