>Kind of hard to prove a negative, but it's even harder to prove that the TVA actually lifted America out of the Great Depression. There was only one thing that did that: World War II.

Unemployment dropped significantly between the beginning of the WPA and 1937. When New Deal programs were scaled back in '37, unemployment rose again. Yes, WWII helped a lot, but it's undeniable that not only did Roosevelt's labor and economic policies help the jobs situation, they also made this country a much more livable place for hundreds of millions of Americans.
