 It was also sort of a hunting ground for communists and socialists, for politicians on the right. Of course. But I mean, how can you be mad at a park across the street from you? That's a good thing. So I think one of the questions a lot of people ask is, did the New Deal end the Depression? And I don't think you can say that it did, because by 1940, the unemployment rate was still at 15%. But it was another massive government spending program that did end the Depression, and that was called World War II.
