Here's something you highlighted from the article you posted:

"FDR's Brain Trust had another agenda in the early years of the New Deal, and that agenda caused the Nation and the world many years more economic depression than were necessary."

What many more years? We were into recovery by the end of 1933. You conceded that yourself. Why post something false as if it's worth considering? I thought you tried to conduct yourself with dignity?

What preconceived notions of mine have you contradicted? All i've ever claimed is: economic growth and revenue growth are consistent with high marginal tax rates as exemplified by FDR's tenure. no one, certainly not you, has disputed that.

We had the highest revenue and economic growth in our nation's history with tax rates the highest they've ever been under FDR. Dispute that. It's not a preconceived notion, it's a fact.

Anything else you think you're rebutting is all in your head. You haven't challenged anything i actually said.

But i'll ask you this again: Can you name one way the pre depression US economy was superior to the post depression US economy? Can you name even one? If FDR's economic policies were harmful you'd think the recovered economy would be inferior to the pre depression economy. Was it? In what way?
