"What did Roosevelt do?"

Built Hoover Dam.

Kevin Starr writes, " Along with the rest of the nation, California experienced the therapeutic presence of the federal government operating through public works during the Great Depression...the federal government... initiated in California during the 1930s an epic of construction without precedent in the history of the state. These public works, in turn - the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, the Colorado River Project, the Central Valley Project, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, together with innumerable projects of flood control, urban improvement, wilderness management, and military construction - met practical needs of long standing.”

Greetings, Steve. I, quite frankly, don't see a problem with the overall argument that demand is the problem, not misallocation of the workforce. I suspect one kind find some of the latter but the problem at the policy level is which to target. To repeat, I have yet to see a serious argument that says it's not demand.
