>> People started with overwhelming debt in 1932 and by 1950 they were almost out debt and we had the strongest middle class we have ever had, before or since, and a zillion new businesses and jobs had been created and the federal debt was being paid down so fast from all the new taxes being paid we were in great shape.

Yes, that's sort of true (our high tax rates had little to do with it, since no one was paying them). After all, we were the only nation left standing. It is hardly a surprise that we were able to get rich in the process.

Or do the Left's claims of wars making people rich only apply to GWB and Cheney?
