The reversal of progress occurred when Roosevelt ceased what was working and tried conservative calls to end deficit spending and balance the budget in 1937. Absolute revisionism. Why do you think they call it the "Roosevelt Recession"? No credible historian attributes the budget cuts to anyone but FDR himself. FDR wanted a balanced budget, totally believed in it, and thought the economic battle was over. Morgenthau agreed. But Harry Hopkins raised strenuous objections. This is a damned liberal lie. And you are so ignorant of the history you cannot identify a liberal lie when you see it.

* The reversal of progress occurred when Roosevelt ceased what was working and tried conservative calls to end deficit spending and balance the budget in 1937. The reversal of the progress happened when money was tightened, and in the aftermath of FDR's policies to increase the power of organized labor. Unemployment under Hoover's conservative "invisible hand" leadership Hoover was very interventionist, more than any president until FDR, and more than several after him. --- Hoover, the Great Interventionist barbarous-relic.blogspot.com Obama Talking About Making The Same Mistake Herbert Hoover Did by Doug Mataconis thelibertypapers.org Hoover Sings His Own Praises Bryan Caplan econlog.econlib.org
