Pop quiz to OhZone or anyone else who thinks the New Deal actually helped alleviate the Depression!

If New Deal actually did help with the Depression, why did it last 10 years and yet the two other recessions that occured in the same century where the government did NOT intervene only lasted one year each?

When answering, keep this in mind: Economies always go through highs and lows. Recessions are inevitable but they always will eventually end. So FDR does not automatically get to take credit just because it ended while he was in office.
