    So you agree that huge taxation levels to fund employment of any kind can be beneficial?

    Don't expect any sense or respect for facts from Raver.

    More bumper-sticker-slogan-type thinking from our resident genius. But no actual analysis or factual challenge.

    Lets see, FDR had worst economy in American history and he was most liberal in American History. How do you like those facts. West Germany did far better the East Germany. how do you like those facts? Our liberals were spying for Stalin while he was slowly starving 60 million to death. Nice fact -right?

    FDR's administration was called the 16 year Great Depression for a reason. capitalism would have ended it in one year!!
    Depression ended only because FDR thankfully died. It would be like saying Stalin and Mao ended the depressions in their country. Liberalism starts prolongs and deepens them, it does not end them.

    Claims and opinions are worth very little here.

    Most historians and economists are very certain that FDR presided over the Great Depression. Its a little embarrassing for liberals isn't it like what they spied for Stalin while he was slowly starving 60 million to death.

    That continues to be bobbins! FDR's conservatism was a problem. He didn't embrace Keynesianism at all. Trying to reinvent the history will do you no favours!

    "A bobbin is a spindle or cylinder, with or without flanges, on which wire, yarn, thread or film is wound. Bobbins are typically found in sewing machines, cameras, and within electronic equipment. In non-electrical applications the bobbin is used for tidy storage without tangles."

    Your replies continue to be mesosoma.

    The English language evolves. The economic history does not. FDRs conservatism is well known

    Since the 1930s, without a qualifier the term "liberalism" in the United States usually refers to "modern liberalism", a political philosophy exemplified by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and, later, Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. It is a form of social liberalism, whose accomplishments include the Works Progress Administration and the Social Security Act in 1935, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

    You copy and paste badly, as usual. I referred to conservatism as an economic term.

    Puerile would be more fitting, in my opinion. I have no idea what you are implying by the word 'mesosoma'.
    But, the "excesses, greed and other damaging characteristics" mentioned in this threads title are much more the consequence of the Federal Reserve Act passed in 1913 which allows government to protect wealth accumulation against loss by inflation, devaluing our fiat currency, raising the cost of living for everyone.

    Nah, it's much the same in other countries that don't have a Federal Reserve Act.
