Truth to tell, I don't think the government can end recessions/depressions. But government can lay the groundwork for an improved country and economy down the road. That's the big thing FDR did. Made the USA a better place for all people to live, except maybe for crooked Bank presidents, maybe for them not so much.
Then the Repubs in congress did away with a bunch of FDR's safeguards in the late 90s. And Clinton went along with them. Wasn't smart. Wasn't smart to slash the SEC budget year after year, either. FDR created the SEC.

Hopefully Obama will make the USA a better place to live. As for the economy.. I guess I'll rely on supply/demand to take care of that. Could be awhile.
