<<Your comparing a depression to a recovery.>> Not at all. Check out the growth in the Roaring 20's, between depressions. You'll see it's far flatter than during post WWII booms. And of course the downturns were far more severe too. The Roaring 20's were the heyday of low tax, small government, Laissez-Faire economics. And they were poor compared to the post New Deal era. <<Look at the overall average economic growth rate from 1800>> Can you point me to some data? The BEA only goes back to '29. <<Also your committing the fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc>> Actually you seem to be committing the straw man fallacy. I haven't argued cause. Steve
