"Hey guy......go back and re-read what I posted Why did I start with 1930....wasn't the Depression at the end of 1929 ? I don't understand where you are coming from with that question?"

Perhaps you should re-read, Ted. You were trying to make the point that FDR's policies did not bring down unemployment. It makes no sense, then to begin with 1930. You should have begun with the unemployment rate in 1933, the year FDR, took office.

And, as was pointed out by gotwins, the numbers you posted show that FDR's policies worked, and worked well.

"It is well documented that FDR's policies (which were very similar to what our politicians are doing now) only exacerbated this country's economic woes. And, dragged out our depressed economy for another 8 years."

Care to back this absurd statement up with facts and/or numbers? Get busy with that World Almanac.

"It's your children and my grandchildren that will be burdened with inevitable future HIGH TAXES to pay for these policies. "

Yeah. The two trillion for the worse-than useless Iraq war won't be any problem at all, though.
