"The Great Depression lasted all the way through WWII. There is no evidence that it was about to end before the deficit hawks had their way." There was plenty of evidence. By most metrics, the economy had recovered quite a bit. Unemployment was still too high, like 14%, and exports for our very export driven economy at the time were still in the toilet. But many areas had improved dramatically. So it was not irrational to think things were well on there way to recovery when we got involved in WWII. To think otherwise would be to ignore reality. Like you are trying to do.
