It strikes me as a incredibly arrogant to assume that the one, single variable of a great many variables that contributed to the Great Depression over other recessions is the one that supports your view point. I can't even begin to consider an argument that's so blatantly lop-sided.

In the same vein that just because FDR got involved doesn't credit him with ending the depression, it must be equally true that just because FDR got involved doesn't gain him blame for the severity of the Great Depression. You want to make the claim of causation, you have to show more than correlation.

I have no problem with you disagreeing with popular modern interpretations of the 20th century, but at least have the decency to pull your head out of the echo chamber that is Ron Paul's ass and make a valid argument.

Since you asked so nicely...oh wait, no you didn't. You spewed insults in lieu of putting anything of value on the table. For that, I'd be entirely justified in blowing off your post.



There you go, history lesson for the day. Take note that the great depression started off not quite as bad as the previous two.
