"From 1929 to 1933, an economic crisis started in the United States swept the capitalist world.

In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, a donkey Party member, took office as the new president of the United States.

The implementation of Roosevelt's new deal made the United States gradually come out of the shadow of the economic crisis, and the social productivity has been restored to a certain extent

Andy is sitting by the French window, the whole person is covered by the warm sunshine in winter, with a sunny smile on his face, facing the NBC ace female anchor, leaning on the seat a little lazily, the voice is full of magnetic eloquence.

"Ha ha, these things, I believe that the students who have taken history lessons should be very clear! Looking back at the classroom, the teacher spoke with great pride, and we listened with pride. However, it has to be said that this is not the truth of the matter. "

"Isn't it?" asked Katie Couric, the NBC ace, with a surprised look on her face

Andy smiled and shook his head. "Before President Roosevelt took office, the U.S. economy had bottomed out, and there was a sign of recovery!

The role of the new deal in the recovery of the US economy is not obvious. That is to say, Roosevelt's new deal did not let the United States out of the crisis, but "brought" another crisis.

This is the little-known 1937-1938 economic crisis. This also makes the American people who just saw the hope of economic recovery fall into despair again, and the unemployment rate returns to the level of 1932.

Until 1939, in September of that year, Germany flashed Poland and World War II broke out, which brought a turning point to the American economy!

When the "World War II" ended, the U.S. economy actually recovered. The unemployment rate fell to 1.9%, and the GDP doubled to the level of the early World War II. After World War II, the United States has become the most powerful country in terms of economic strength. "

"You mean that it's not Roosevelt's new deal that really revives the U.S. economy and gets out of the economic crisis, but World War II that really brings prosperity to the U.S. economy." Katie Couric asked with a slight frown and an unexpected expression.

"Haha, I don't deny President Roosevelt's achievements, but the impact of World War II on the American economy is beyond doubt!

War requires a lot of material. Remember that picture of milk pouring during the economic crisis?

From the perspective of supply and demand, the specific reason for the outbreak of the economic crisis is that supply exceeds demand. When World War II first broke out, the United States did not participate. But the United States is providing supplies for the European battlefield. Those factories that had stopped production, the machines began to turn again.

In less than three years, Ford built a total of 8600 four engine B-24 liberators, 5700 aircraft engines, and more than 250000 tanks, fighters and other war machines.

Boeing, Chrysler, dodge and other factories are all working overtime at full speed. As the demand for military materials increases, so does the demand for labor. Once unemployed workers return to work, once housewives join the labor force

Like a scholar who specializes in World War II, Andy has all kinds of data at his fingertips, and all kinds of small stories are told in a very humorous way to testify his arguments. Whether it's Katie Couric who makes an exclusive interview or other staff around him, they are deeply attracted to listen to Andy's lesson on World War II history.

Andy took the coffee cup, took a sip of it, put it down gracefully, and continued with a smile: "the reason why I say so much is that I want to explain the true meaning of what I said in the corridor of the Capitol building. President Roosevelt's achievements and greatness are beyond doubt, and no one can deny it, because it is the iron verified by history fact.

What I said was to remind this administration not to make radical decisions about who it wants to surpass, and not to be blinded by the halo of Roosevelt's new deal, when President Roosevelt made major changes in liberalism.

He believes that if people don't meet the needs of life, they can't realize "freedom" in a real sense. Therefore, if we want to give citizens real freedom, the government should ensure that citizens have material life needs, jobs, medical conditions and retirement life.

As a result, he has greatly expanded the functions of the government, established a series of welfare projects and intervened in economic policies. President Roosevelt became the ancestor of the great government of the United States, and his "New Deal" was the product of the great government, which was far beyond the design of the fathers of the United States to limit the power of the government.

Roosevelt was able to achieve such a new deal, such as the establishment of a social security system to provide pensions, and the famous government loan bank Freddie Mac. It was because of the crisis like the great depression, when most voters lost confidence in themselves in the face of the crisis, and put their hopes on the government's security and welfare programs, thus starting the American dependence on the government, Thus, the donkey party has also secured a large electoral vote

At this time, all the people present were inspired. To be honest, what Americans fear most is not the corruption of officials, but the loosening of government power. Putting government power in a cage is the key point for Americans to ensure their freedom, democracy and equality."I know that some people will take this financial crisis as a great opportunity because it allows you to do things that you couldn't do before. But what I have to tell you is that although the economic crisis has brought difficulties, the government's use of the economic crisis to increase the power of the government will bring more disasters. The economic policy of the great government, which is opposite to the thoughts of the founding fathers, needs to be balanced and restricted, and the power of the government needs to be restricted! "

"Pa Pa Pa --"

female anchor Katie clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes twinkled with bright light, and exclaimed: "I totally agree with your view that limiting the power of the government is the duty of every American citizen and the power given to us by Xi'an law, which is why I always appeal to and encourage the people to vote, because the vote is what we can do To put the monster of power in a cage. "

Andy smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Katie's words. The reason why he used data to talk about World War II and Roosevelt's new deal in a big way this time is to draw out the disadvantages of big government, arouse the people's vigilance, and let the elephant party occupy the platform of the Congress for the mid-term election next year.

We need to know that the American people attach great importance to limiting the power of the government, which is also one of the main reasons for the ruling cycle of the two parties in the United States.

"Mr. Smith, although big government has the risk of increasing government power, but high welfare policies can benefit Americans. I wonder how do you think about the fact that the current unemployment rate is so high and the gap between the rich and the poor is further widened?" When Katie said this question, she was also impressed by the big boss in front of her. Before the interview, the program group, including herself, thought that the big boss would cross it out, but unexpectedly, the sensitive question was retained.

"First of all, although welfare programs can increase the wealth of the poor, they can't help the poor out of poverty. This has been verified in the past 20 years, and the zipperton period has also proved that the reduction of welfare spending may not equal the decline of people's living standards. I don't know how much the U.S. government is willing to spend to support the" great dream "of fighting poverty Less money, but I want to say that the government's welfare policy can never defeat poverty! Because to defeat poverty, we need to create opportunities for people to become rich and let everyone out of poverty through their own efforts under equal opportunities. "

Andy doesn't worry about the gap between the rich and the poor at all, because he has prepared a big gift before, which is facing the American people, and it also needs a starting point, and Katie's question gives him the opportunity.

"However, the current economic situation, even the record high unemployment rate and the soaring number of homeless people, tell us the fact that people have lost the opportunity to go out of poverty through their own efforts under equal opportunities. What about this? "

Andy suddenly adjusted his sitting posture, changed his lazy posture, sat up straight with serious expression, and said very seriously: "this requires the joint efforts of the government and all sectors of society, creating more jobs will reduce the number of unemployed people.

I know that all the major enterprises in the world are now carrying out large-scale layoffs to reduce the company's losses. Before that, my newspaper office and Starbucks have also carried out layoffs. In order to help more people out of their difficulties, I decided that in the next year, all my companies will jointly hold 100 job fairs in major cities, as long as you are in the United States Citizen, as long as you are professional and confident in your ability, come on!

The slogan of this recruitment is "everyone in America has a journey to work"! I can't help everyone, but I can give you equal opportunities. Come on, new jobs are beckoning to you. I also hope that all major enterprises can join in this work for all journey in America! "

Andy is facing the camera, throwing out the first bone of his crazy painting of the United States!
