How about morality. Oh, I remember you right wingers never think of morality.

Women could not vote and segregation was legal and the south had black chain guys.

And right after 1918 three Republican president threw the US into the great depression and the people turned to a liberal dem to rescue them once again.

The pubs said: let the depression run it will get rid of the deadwood. FDR put people back to work and gave us the new deal and asocial security.

Just compare the US ,to how people lived in 1918 without unemployment, benefits, food stamps, social security and medicare and modern laws and social programs.

The economic and technological advancements since 1918 and the main reason for the higher standard of living, not government social programs.

Economic and technological advancement doesn't require big government. OTOH our current level of social programs does require that the economic progress that has happened since then. Without the growth in private sector economic activity the social programs would be unaffordable.
