Post #6,515 by bepatient 8/23/01 3:26:56 PM Reply	Not... ...it was World War II that brought us out of the Great Depression. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #6,523 by mmoffitt 8/23/01 4:12:57 PM Reply	Sort of, but not Xactly. The War Production Board put everyone to work and since no one was making any consumer products - everything went to the War effort, you had this build up of buying power that once the War was OVER, could be spent on consumer goods and industry converted.
Post #6,527 by bepatient 8/23/01 4:53:49 PM Reply	But giving credit to that.. ...as a "government program" is sort of like giving credit to NASA for creating the moon just because they landed there. War has a wonderful habit of spurring the economy...but giving credit to the program as "the way we got out of the depression" is only accurate if they started the war...not just benefitted from it happening. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
