USA in alternate 40s.

In a scenario where the great depression is avoid,the Wiemar Republic survives and the World War II doesn't occur,how would be the United States in 40s?
Television by 1941?
Without military-industial complex i don't see the "corporation man in gray flannel" like in 50s OTL,so less conformism in the society?
And without GI bills we have an huge middle class,and suburbia ?
Moreover without depression is probable that the USA of this timeline are in 40s a weathly country,and taxes are more low that in OTL.
So?

It's pretty damn hard to avoid the Great Depression with a PoD after the start of WWI.

It's hard to get the Wiemar Republic with a PoD before WWI.
