That is what et is talking about

Deliberate skewing of the data to fit your lies.

AGAIN, from 1929 to 1933 when the policies were exactly what you are advocating NOW, Unemp went from 3.2% to 23.6%. The New Deal brought that down to 14% by 1937. THE ONE YEAR in 1938 there was no new deficit spending Unemp rose again and the economy contracted again.

Of course 14% Unemp is horrendous, but it is better than 24% no? Instead of throwing out one liners based on one year's numbers, study the all the numbers from 1929 - 1945 closely and then tell me there is no clear relationship between deficit spending, GDP growth and employment numbers.

BY the end of WWII (again the ultimate stimulus) Unemp was 1.9%.
