Once again, you drag in unrelated material. For one, most of the US decline occurred before any of the New Deal programs were implemented. So your conclusion is wrong. What conclusion? I just stated facts. Highly relevant facts. In the period from '29 to '34 wholesale prices of practically every industrialized country dropped 25-35%. The US decline continued after Great Britain's was over. There were no significant bank failures in Canada. France continued in Depression until the late 30s -- so I suppose you could argue that compared with France we did okay. The depression in the US was long and severe as it was in much of Europe. But Latin America was not hit as hard. And neither was Japan (although Japan experienced a precipitous drop early on). Germany's decline was roughly equivalent to that in the US. For you to claim this material is unrelated is just one more wimp copout. Frankly, it gets a little old putting forth compelling arguments only to have you follow up with, "Oh, that. That doesn't matter". Well, bullshit. It does matter. I'm right and you're without any argument at all.
