Re: Historical Revisionism

It seems to me that the author was being objective and most people are probably not aware that after about 10 years of "stimulus" spending, the depression was still alive and well.

Perhaps "historical revisionism" is a good thing as our history books tell us that Roosevelt ended the depression. Perhaps he did, but only after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and Hitler took over most of Europe--hardly part of the new deal.

Unfortunately, in today's society, simply stating two different points of view may qualify as "historical revisionism" if the person taking offense does not see full adoption or cheerleading for his particular point of view.

good article; I was not aware of our current stock market's similarity to the 1930's and that the new deal did not seem to have any impact until two years into the war--if it had any positive impact at all. It should give all of us concern for our current direction in spending and investing

Re: Historical Revisionism

Since none of us (mostly) were there, we can only rely on the history books and maybe some who are still living and can remember what happened...

but to those who keep knocking the new President's current plan, I say, if you have something better to add or make the market and economy better then by all means share!!! If not, then wait and see, its easy to be a heckler, it takes intelligence and courage to come up with a solution....
