Obviously college is teaching me something... I don't want to count the number of typos and grammatical mistakes in that "paragraph." LOL
He's perfectly capable of fighting his own battles. "Advising him" on something was not needed. I'm sure he could figure out my political compass by reading my posts, most people do.
You can get on to me as much as you want, it's not going to hurt my feelings or something, so I really don't understand why you do... It's like you have some sort of compensation issues... Why else would you be putting yourself on the same level as a 19 year old boy?
Yes, it IS Wikipedia, and most of the things on Wikipedia now have citations at the bottom. That's what the little numbers mean.
If you read it, then you already know about this section...
The Depression continued with decreasing effect until the U.S. entered the Second World War in December 1941. Under the special circumstances of war mobilization, massive war spending doubled the GNP (Gross National Product)[53] Civilian unemployment was reduced from 14% in 1940 to less than 2% in 1943 as the labor force grew by ten million. Millions of farmers left marginal operations, students quit school, and housewives joined the labor force. The effect continued into 1946, the first postwar year, where federal spending remained high at $62 billion (30% of GNP).[54]
The emphasis was for war supplies as soon as possible, regardless of cost and efficiencies. Industry quickly absorbed the slack in the labor force, and the tables turned such that employers needed to actively and aggressively recruit workers. As the military grew, new labor sources were needed to replace the 12 million men serving in the military.
These events magnified the role of the federal government in the national economy. In 1929, federal expenditures accounted for only 3% of GNP. Between 1933 and 1939, federal expenditure tripled, but the national debt as percent of GNP hardly changed. However, spending on the New Deal was far smaller than spending on the war effort, which passed 40% of GNP in 1944. The war economy grew so fast after deemphasizing free enterprise and imposing strict controls on prices and wages, as a result of government/business cooperation, with government subsidizing business, directly and indirectly.
But, that says that government/business cooperation made the economy GROW, so that can't be right! De-emphasizing free enterprise?! That's BLASPHEMY! No good can come from that! Hahahahahaha!!!
