What part of growth is it that you don't like In general no part. Growth is good. Nothing in my statement resembled or implied "growth is bad". The growth was there until the conservatives convinced the Fed to reduce the money supply because they feared inflation during a depression. Reduce the money supply, raise taxes (and create new ones), and impose new labor policies that increased labor costs. And even if conservatives convinced FDR of any part of that, is he not to blame for the action? If some Democrat suggested some horrible policy to Bush and he took it, would you have given Bush a pass on it?
