Most, your DJIA numbers are off.The Dow did not reach 1000 until Nov. 14,1972.You have to put that decimal point one place to the left, (111.66, not 1116.60)

In 1933 unemployment was 24.9%. In 1937 it was 14.7%.

Those people weren't employed, they were on welfare. They just had to show up every day and lean on a shovel for 8 hours to collect it.
The Great Depression did not end in 1937 or when WWII started. The Great Depression ended after WWII when the country went back to work.

Other sources paint a very different picture. According to them:
On 9/4/29 the Dow stood at 379.
By 7/7/32 it had dropped to 41.81.
On 1/3/33 it was 59.29
On 1/2/37 it had risen to 178.52
I have no idea why those Macrotrend numbers are off by so much.

maybe because of revisionists - the Dow keeps changing companies as some go broke and others start new industries.
Similar to the aGW people justifying the increased ice mass near and around Antarctica during the 'warmest ever recorded' year

Sure you do. You're a Marxist. Truth is not part of you point of view. Only "numbers", regardless of the source or CONTEXT that support your views, are linked as "proof".
Please explain, in laymen's terms, so your supporters can understand it, how government spending "stimulates" the economy:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-hawk-reports/
Quote:
Not enough Medicare audits Not all the “Prime Cuts” recommendations come in the form of cuts. Some call for ramping up efforts to prevent fraud and improper payments.
The report recommends reinstating the Recovery Audit Contractor program, which helped recover nearly $10 billion in improper Medicare payments over eight years. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services halted the initiative last year amid a backlog of more than 350,000 appeals.
Citizens Against Government Waste estimated that the government could save $24 billion over five years by restarting the program

I'm not a big Trump fan, as I think The Donald is to voters what Lucy the placeholder is to Charlie Brown. But, if you're going to dig on a candidate, you need to come across with something more striking than Grandma Walton taking a wet towel to John Boy....

Good one. I thought about this just yesterday and thought I was the only one that saw the parallels between this "political show" and Animal Farm. You obviously see it too. When it comes to the Democrats and Republicans. Half wit, good............Full wit, bad. Instead of the Beasts of England, Its Beasts of the USA. Snowball did it, long live Napoleon..................... 
But if this brings down the Republican Party that's a good thing....look at them sweat. If Bernie was winning it would be doing the same thing to the Democratic Party. They don't give a shit about people....the pigs fear being booted from the "Humans Farm House".

I would argue that the only stimulus spending that has shown toworks is Military spending.

Infrastructure can work. Big projects like Hoover Dam, modern highways, bridges, etc.
I wasn't around during FDR's presidency but I have heard that gov't spending on the WPA helped boost the moral of the country because people who wanted to work were given jobs. Those paychecks helped jump start the economy and gave people a sense of pride and contribution.

Bill Clinton's biggest mistake was Nafta, and since the republicans never voted to end Nafta as they tried Obamacare, they now get Trumped. They are done. Will be curious to see how she defends Nafta now.

Weren't you singing Trump's praises just last week? I must have been reading someone else.
You're a strange dude.
