"The TVA didn't do anything to lift America out of the Great Depression."

Except provide 10's of thousands of jobs in the nation's poorest regions, prevent catastrophic periodic flooding, and provide electricity to areas that had had none, allowing the building of factories in the south where there had been no electricity to run them earlier.

The TVA was just ONE of such projects. In Central Texas, where I was from, it was the LCRA - Lower Colorado River Authority.

Naw, they didn't do anything.
