*Re: [and* spending was cut.] "After a series of much larger increases."** Exactly. (It's all in the TIMING.) The economy was 'on the mend' after the stock market crash and onset of Depression and the initially counter-cyclical stimulative action that the government took. THEN they BOTH raised taxes AND cut spending! (Same Congress, same TIME.) Immediately after which the country fell back into a deeper, more prolonged Depression. (Anything sound depressingly familiar about that sequence of events????????????)
