You began the farming sidebar about subsidies and I explained to you how farming works and why the system changed after wwi crash. FDR did artifically inflate prices, he returned to the point they were pre-war SO THAT THE FARMER COULD KEEP HIS LAND AND KEEP GROWING FOOD. When things get fucked up they have to fixed or for that matter REGULATED.
And you still won't admit that it was industrialist great and the completely topsided distribution of wealth that caused the depression in the first place.
So you break it down for you... because you are slow.
Good Guys = IHTNR and FDR
Bad Guys = Dom and the Greedy Capitalists who collapsed the system.
Watching the news tonight and seeing the DOW hit a new record in our shacky economy gives me chills when I think of the similarities between their time and ours.

I brought up Hoover and showed you how FDR continued some of his policies. I even gave you specific legislation and policies and you skipped over them because you could form no response. You were wrong and you knew it. If you didn't know you were wrong then I suspect that you could have at least formulated a response.
Now in the second paragraph you are just making things up. I showed you a socialistic price control practice to artificially raise prices and you said that was NOT what he was doing. Now you are saying he did artificially raise the prices. So, once again, you were wrong and now admit it.
The topsided distrubution of wealth is one of many theories. It is much more complex than that. Again, according to you this would not have been present six years into FDR's term but the worst crash in history happened in 1938. Explain that one.
FDR adopted some of Hoover's policies and Tugwell, the guy who helped write the AAA, said that the New Deal was "extrapolated from earlier Hoover policies."
