How do you feel about Biden NOW?

Somewhere around here I have an airplane spark plug... still in the cardboard tube. I think it was for a Corsair.

I have a few other WW2 moments also.

So I do know a bit about what I'm talking about about.

I'll add that my great grandfather was an Ensign in the Navy during WWI.

I actually know a fair amount about the Great Depression. I've heard all the stories... first hand.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

That generation is now gone.

The bit where you claimed F.D. Roosevelt didn't create jobs was wrong though.

 

[TheDude]

That generation is now gone.

There's still over 115K WWII US vets alive, but they're in the age group where they're dying off en masse. Another decade and they'll be almost none or possibly none.

Read again please. I wasn't saying Roosevelt didn't create jobs. The WPA is proof he did.

But with the Great Depression as bad as it was, there's no possible way job creation during that time, led to positive numbers.

That's why I think your numbers are skewed, and what I "called you out" on initially.

So the home foreclosures during the great Depression prove high job losses... even if YOUR statistics don't.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

I've heard all the stories first hand. People jumping out of high story buildings (commiting suicide) after losing everything.

My Great grandfather (the Ensign) and his wife... and my mom (and Aunt) living in a 2 room flat in NYC... managed to go through the depression fairly unscathed. But it wasn't easy.

You Trumpers are getting even weirder, no idea why I'm even s little bit surprised at this point.

Well, you kinda did.

Hoover lost the jobs, Hoover and Trump are the only two presidents to lose jobs by the end of their terms. These are historical facts.

The Civil Works Administration (Executive Order 6420-B) signed by FDR is what kept millions of people working, building secondary roads, parks, schoolhouses, playgrounds and other projects. The Civilian Conservation bill kept a few million more employed. There's more.

I find it funny that F.D. Roosevelt is one of the most celebrated US Presidents regardless of personal politics and you're trying to go out of your way to ignore or wrap reality, so you can shit on the man just because he was a Democrat. LoL.

Not true... but I have other reasons I don't particularly care for him, that go into the (old) League of Nations and the people of power in that era.

I couldn't find that thread now if I wanted to. Well maybe...

 

[04_Sport_LS]

Yup. It's in here. Wayyyy back.

Guess what Buckwheat.

We just went full circle.

Well regardless of your feelings and beliefs, F.D. Roosevelt did not lose jobs in his presidential jobs creation report.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

Well... He certainly didn't gain jobs. Hard to do during a depression. Other than the Socialistic programs.

 

[TheDude]

Well... He certainly didn't gain jobs. Hard to do during a depression.

And yet he did due to his programs and Congress' bills and the onset of WWII. Reality > Your beliefs

If you want to talk about Presidents who lost jobs by the end of their terms, that would be Republican Presidents Herbert Hoover and Donald Trump.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

I will agree that the war (2) created jobs... out of necessity. Unfortunately.

Still won't believe the depression job numbers though. Again... NOBODY was working or had a job back then... unless you got lucky enough to be a part of the WPA.

My Great Uncle did get lucky (kinda). He was building a house when the depression hit.

He had the foundation and block walls up... So he built a roof over the basement... and he and his wife lived in the basement.

He did end up going to work for the WPA... working for the parks district. Not sure how long.

 

[TheDude]

The thing about science and facts, they continue being true regardless of [your] personal beliefs.
