Easily fixed? You better call Washington because I have not seen any
easy fixes coming from them. This "infrastructure" thing is just
****ing on the fire. FDR and Hoover did infrastructure projects for 10
years and we still had a hell of a depression 10 years later.


No, Hoover did it in 1930 for a few years. Then, he pulled back,
restricted the money supply, etc. FDR did infrastructure also, but
pulled back on it too soon. FDR's infrastructure projects reduced
unemployment significantly, and they would if continued have
eventually got us out of the Depression.


Bull****. The war got us out of the depression.


Yes, the war did. However, FDR's programs would have if he didn't pull
back on them. Read up.

As usual, there's no comparison between the Depression and what's
going on now. But, that doesn't stop you from making it a comparison
to deny the fact that we need a massive, gov't instigated jobs
program.


A massive jobs program still will not get our money back from overseas
and that is the root of our problems.


That is a LONG TERM problem. We have a SHORT TERM job problem. Try
again.


Now if we just could trick the rest of the world into blowing
themselves up in a war that does not touch us like FDR did for his
great success we would be able to recreate our success of the 50s and
60s.


As I said, you're mixing two different things, which seems to be your
style.


Not at all, you were talking about what ended the depression.


Nope. I wasn't. I was talking about programs that worked during the
Depression.


The post war Americans were born on 3d base and think they hit a
triple.


No idea what this is supposed to mean. Some kind of put down for
people who worked hard between the end of the war and now?


No that is only to indicate why we somehow think we are invincible and
nothing bad could ever happen to us.
We have 3 generations of people who have never actually had anything
bad happen to them.


Really? Nothing? You can't think of a single thing, say in the last 10
years? Try to come out of your hole once every decade. The air is
fine! :-)

You are certainly one of those in denial that anything bad could
happen when we keep printing money and sending it offshore.


As usual, you deliberately mis-read what I said. See above under LONG
TERM vs. SHORT TERM.
