Smith, but imagine how things would be different if Smith won. What would happen during the depression and WWII?
Hot take: the Great Depression and its end/World War II likely play out effectively the same no matter who is President, with the main differences just being how much each President intervenes in the economy but with all of them intervening. (Remember, Hoover was VERY interventionist after 1929, actually.)
Um no , Smith would not have let the Bank of the United States fail which set of the major banking runs. Smith wouldnt have signed Smoot-Haley into law which was a disaster of a bill at a time when anything imports or exports was needed and Smith wouldnt have named Eugene Meyer to head the Fed who persued a tight money policyBro, I like you as a poster, but give people the benefit of the doubt that they aren't simpletons when you respond to them, eh? How can you read your response as critiquing anything I said? I'm genuinely curious, haha. I said the END of the Great Depression plays out the same, because what ended the Great Depression was World War II, and we join World War II under any POTUS. I then said the only differences would be the degree to which each President would intervene into the economy, with each one intervening to a certain degree.
Do you not see it as odd how VAGUE my post was and how ridiculously specific your response was? I don't care to discuss Taft-Hartley with you, haha, and that was not at all in any way the point of my post.
