" I am not aware of any time in history in which it has actually worked."

Then you aren't aware of very much.

No real surprise there.

A great set of examples would be the economies of the developed world during WWII. All, with a single exception, were in dire straits because of the Great Depression, and all didn't fully recover until the great spending spree we call "WWII". A more recent example would be China during the recent belly flop. They had a much larger stimulus package as a percentage of GDP than the US, and they had fewer problems and are in great shape now.

"a much stronger case can be made that FDR's actions actually PROLONGED the depression"

Nonsense. There is only a handful of nutjobs who make this claim. Despite how many times you post it.
