Guess I'll stick my post here
until the forum gets
fixed.
Fiscal Stimulus/Economic Analysis: The New Deal increased U.S. GDP and resulted in a
substantial decrease in U.S. unemployment, both during its initial phase (1933-37) and after FDR turned back 1937-38
Republican pressure to balance the budget (1939-41). The fiscal stimulus provided by the New Deal worked. That's
the record, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
If anything, FDR's New Deal spending was too small in
the early years: had a larger stimulus been passed, U.S. GDP would have increased more and unemployment would
have declined to lower levels.
