1937 happened right when FDR cut back on the New Deal and attempted to balance the budget. That recession ended when the New Deal kicked back in. Heck of a coincidence if one wants to make it one. No person should believe the New Deal worsened the Great Depression. Such is modern Conservative poppycock that gets touted now because the great distance of time allows for any narrative to be invented--fleeting memory, the passing of first hand sources and witnesses, and other assorted things go into that, as essentially fewer people if anyone is alive to call it out and it passes into legend like King Arthur, to be molded to the author's assumptions, innuendos and imaginations. It is the same line of thought that transforms JFK into a Conservative, that somehow no one recognized at the time, including the Conservatives that hated Kennedy with a passion. And the list goes on. There is a school of dogmatic thought in modern Conservatism that every hero figure of history was actually a Conservative, and every Liberal thing was certainly a problem and a hindrance to progress as it was not Conservative.
