thinks happened during WW2

A common fallacy is that the Great Depression was ended by the explosive spending of World War II. But World War II actually institutionalized the sharp decline in the standard of living caused by the Depression. The Depression was actually ended, and prosperity restored, by the sharp reductions in spending, taxes and regulation at the end of World War II, exactly contrary to the analysis of Keynesian so-called economists...

“After World War II, when ten million demobilized servicemen returned to an economy that had to be converted from a garrison state to civilian needs, economists steeled themselves for a renewed depression. A sweeping Republican victory in the Congressional election of 1946, however, brought an end to the wartime government-planning regime [overregulation]. Dropping from 42 percent of GDP to 14 percent, government spending plummeted by a total of 61 percent between 1945 and 1947. One hundred fifty thousand government regulators were laid off, along with perhaps a million other civilian employees of government. The War Production Board, the War Labor Board, and the Office of Price Administration were dismantled [deregulation].”

Sorry that was a mis-post. It was buy one get one free. So people were to get all excited and pay $6.50 for fucking hot dogs. Also noticed the buns were $4.99 pkg. Five bucks for hot dog buns....

My God Beave...what have you done to the last two pages. In appearance it's like a stream Progressive Socialist vomit offered up as some sort of proof of some unknown something.

Although, it sounds like you might simply be trying to say something like this:

"World War II institutionalized the falling standards of living of the Depression through wage and price controls, and extensive rationing of consumer goods and services."

However...

What you're offering up is a kind of intellectual sleight of hand. It's just the left hand being active so you don't see the right hand doing the trick.

The article explains what actually happened. It had nothing to do with any of what you're hysterically pointing at.

You're not even pointing at the right time period for when America's rise out of the depression was finally solidified.

It was more like this:

With World War II I'm not sure how much the American economy was improved during the war but I imagine in some areas there was an increase in production. Didn't matter. The real economic boom that couldn't stop didn't happen until the soldiers came home into systems organized to deregulate in order to get production booming.

Planes, tanks, and ships don't build themselves.

it's curious how lefties forget about the stagflation that dominated seventies after the Oil Embargo of 1973.

Actually the idea that deregulation is most likely the main determinant that solidified the end of the depression is pretty well known. You just hadn't heard about it yourself but that sort of knowledge-block to Beave-world is not unusual.

I did know about it so I just typed it into Duck, Duck, Go (because google is useless for everything except pictures) saw the first link was from Forbes and said to myself maybe Beave will whine less with this one.

But I'll reiterate my personal hypothesis. You can stimulate the economy by grabbing people's money and spreading it around. But only briefly. Then you run out of other people's money. Even Obama's stimulus worked a bit but again only briefly, then the economy didn't look like it was going to make an actual recovery until the Republicans took over congress in late 2014 into 2015. Then Trump finalized the idea that America was open for business again when he took over with deregulation a year or two later.

With World War II I'm not sure how much the American economy was improved during the war but I imagine in some areas there was an increase in production. Didn't matter. The real economic boom that couldn't stop didn't happen until the soldiers came home into systems organized to deregulate in order to get production booming.

Why did it end? Too many reasons to attach in one article. Everything from regained American confidence to a lack of new domestic laws to decreased post-WW2 spending to the fact the rest of the world is blown to hell, call it what someone wants, it ended. Even though it ended many years after FDR died and Roosevelt ended his time in office with horrible unemployment numbers, it was still a legacy he gets the title of holding.[/color]
