American Fortune Life

Chapter 1619: Dr. Ye Jianguan

“Between 1929 and 1933, an economic crisis that began in the United States swept the entire capitalist world.

In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, a donkey party with a "New Deal” reform as its campaign slogan, became the new President of the United States.

The implementation of the Roosevelt New Deal has gradually brought the United States out of the shadow of the economic crisis and restored some measure of social productivity... ”

Andy sat by the floor window and the whole person was covered in warm winter sunshine with a bright, sunny smile on his face, facing the actress anchor of NBC, leaning slightly lazy on the seat and sounding magnetic.

“Oh, these things, I believe, should be clear to all students who have taken history classes! Looking back at the classroom, we were very proud of what the teacher said. But it has to be said that this is not the truth. ”

NBC Ace actress Katie Currick had a surprised look on her face and asked: "Isn't that right? ”

Andy shook his head with a smile, "Before President Roosevelt took office, the American economy had touched the bottom and there were signs of a recovery!

The role of the New Deal in the recovery of the United States economy is not clear. In other words, the Roosevelt New Deal did not lift the United States out of the crisis, but rather “brought” another crisis.

This was the little-known economic crisis of 1937 to 1938. It also plunged the people of the United States, who had just seen hope for economic recovery, into despair and unemployment had returned to its 1932 level.

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

By the end of World War II, the United States economy had recovered, unemployment had fallen to 1.9 per cent and GDP had doubled in the early years of World War II. After World War II, the United States also became the most economically powerful country. ”

“What you're saying is that it's not the Roosevelt New Deal that really brings prosperity to the US economy, but World War II, that really brings the US economy back to life, out of the midst of an economic crisis!” Katie Currick frowned slightly, pretending to have an unexpected look to ask.

“Ha ha, I didn't deny President Roosevelt's achievements, but the impact of World War II on the American economy is beyond doubt!

War requires a great deal of supplies. Remember that picture of milk dumping during the economic crisis?

In terms of supply and demand, the specific reason for the outbreak of the economic crisis is that supply outweighs demand. When World War II broke out, the United States was not involved. But the United States is supplying munitions to the European battlefield. The factories that had been shut down, the machines turned again.

In less than three years, Ford has built 8,600 four-engine B—24 Liberator bombers, 7,700 aircraft engines and more than 2,500,000 tanks, assault vehicles and other war machines.

Boeing, Chrysler, Dodge, etc. are all producing overtime at full speed, and as demand for military materiel grows in the market, so does demand for labour. Workers who had been unemployed returned to work and former family women joined the labour force... ”

Andy, like a WWII scholar, had all kinds of data handlers, all kinds of little stories that were told in a very humorous way to testify to his arguments, whether it was Katie Coolik, who did the interview, or the rest of the staff around him, who were deeply attracted to listen carefully to this WWII history lesson that Andy taught them.

Andy picked up the coffee cup, took a sip of coffee, put down the coffee cup gracefully, and smiled and continued: “That's why I'm saying so much, because I'm going to explain the true meaning of what I said in the hallway of the Capitol, President Roosevelt's merit and greatness, which no one can deny, because it's a historically proven iron fact.

What I meant by that was to remind the current administration not to make radical decisions about who it wanted to go beyond, not to be blinded by the halo of the Roosevelt New Deal, when President Roosevelt made a major change in liberalism.

In his view, a person could not achieve “freedom” in the true sense if he did not meet the needs of life, and therefore, if genuine freedoms were to be granted to citizens, the Government should guarantee their material needs, job opportunities, medical conditions and retirement.

As a result, he has significantly expanded the functions of the Government by establishing a range of welfare projects and policies to intervene in the economy. President Roosevelt became the ancestor of the great United States administration, and his "New Deal” was the product of the great administration, which far exceeded the designs of the fathers of the United States when they restricted the power of government.

Roosevelt was able to achieve such a new deal, such as the establishment of a social security system that provided pensions and the beauty of famous government loan banks, precisely because of a crisis like the Great Depression, when most voters lost confidence in themselves in the face of the crisis and placed their hopes in the government's security and welfare projects, thus beginning to rely on the government by Americans, thereby also setting up a big campaign ticket slot for the Donkey Party. ”

At this time, the spirit of all those present is reinvigorated. To be honest, Americans are most afraid not of corrupt officials, but of unbundling government power and putting it in a cage, which is the key to guaranteeing their freedom, cooking and equality.

“I know that someone will see this financial crisis as a great opportunity because it allows you to do things that you never could have done before. I must tell you, however, that the economic crisis, despite its hardships, can cause even greater catastrophe when the Government uses it to increase its authority. Large government economic policies that contradict the ideas of the original fathers need to be balanced and restrained, and the power of the government needs to be limited! ”

“Bang-bang--”

Female anchor Katie applauded, her eyes shining brightly, and she praised: “I fully share your view that restricting the power of government is a duty of every American citizen and a power vested in us by the xian law, which is why I always call upon and encourage people to vote, because voting is a good way for us to cage this monster of power. ”

Andy nodded with a smile and was very happy with Katie's words. He talked about World War II, the Roosevelt New Deal with data this time, in order to elicit the flaws of the great government, to alert the people, to let the elephant party take over the Congressional platform for next year's midterm elections.

You know, the American public attaches great importance to limiting the power of government, which is one of the main reasons for the two-party rule cycle in the United States.

“Mr. Smith, while there is a risk of greater government power, high welfare policies can benefit Americans, and I wonder how you see the current high unemployment rate and the widening gap between rich and poor?” When Katie said this, she also implicitly admired the big boss in front of her. When she interviewed the script, the show group, including herself, would think the big boss would cut the issue off, but it was unexpected that this sensitive issue was retained.

“First, while welfare projects can increase the wealth of the poor, they do not help them escape poverty, as has been demonstrated over the past two decades, and during the Zipperton period, they have proven that spending on welfare reductions does not necessarily equal a decline in the standard of living of the population. I do not know how much the United States Government is willing to spend to support the" great dream ”of fighting poverty, but I would like to say that the Government's welfare policy will never be able to defeat poverty! Because defeating poverty requires creating opportunities for people to prosper and for everyone to emerge from poverty through their own efforts, with equal opportunities. ”

Andy was not worried about the gap between rich and poor, because he had already prepared a gift for the American people, and it needed a head start, and Chachakitty's questions gave him a chance.

“However, the current economic situation, even with the high rate of innovative unemployment and the surge in homelessness, tells us that people have lost the opportunity to escape poverty through their own efforts with equal opportunities. So what do we do? ”

Andy suddenly adjusted his posture, changed his lazy posture, and sat down with a serious expression, saying nothing more seriously: "This requires a concerted effort by the Government and all sectors of society to create more jobs and reduce the number of unemployed.

I know that major companies around the globe are now making massive cuts to reduce corporate losses, and before that, my newspaper, Starbucks, has done cuts to help more people get out of trouble, and I've decided that in the coming year, all my companies will be joining forces to hold 100 job fairs, alternating across major cities, as long as you're a citizen of the United States, and you're a professional counterpart, confident that you're capable, come on!

This job slogan is called 'Everyone in America has a Job Journey'! I can't help everyone, but I can give you equal opportunities. Come on, new jobs are already waving to you, and I hope big businesses can join this journey to work for everyone in the United States! ”

Andy faces the camera and throws out the first bone that he brushes with all his beauty!
