"What many more years? We were into recovery by the end of 1933. You conceded that yourself. Why post something false as if it's worth considering? I thought you tried to conduct yourself with dignity?"

You are quibbling over terms to attack a strawman. Feel free it doesn't offend me and I find no cause to defend positions I haven't taken, even when you falsely assign them to me. The term recovery is used in many contexts, like signals that recovery was on its way, a specific time which it started, or the period of time before recovery was complete, or a date in which complete recovery could be declared. I am pretty sure you aren't too stupid to see that. Much of that can be argued by historical economists and I have no dog in that fight.

Whatever you think your dispute with me is over FDR, I certainly have not engaged in it in anyway. My only dispute with you on this topic, is your tendency to attribute false positions onto me and your fondness for using inappropriate invective.

I like the Roosevelts btw, I just don't worship them like you.

Teddy gave this excellent advice:

"No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he himself is vulnerable in his private character." (An Autobiography, 1913)

Did you know Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of FDR, was Teddy's niece?
