To be fair, WWII had more to do with that than his social programs
The END of WW2 is what got us out of it. During WW2, food was being rationed and people were still dirt poor.
Unemployment numbers went down, but that's because millions of working age men went to war. GDP went up because government spent like crazy on military equipment, which does nothing to improve people's standard of living.
But, when all that spending and central planning ended, then the economy was finally able to recover.

My progressive friends certainly would say Obama.
To their line of thinking the Bush presidents took the economy down and Clinton and Obama bailed them out.

Yes Obama.Took over a crashing economy, housing crisis, multiple wars, trillion dollar deficit and grew the economy and had reduced the deficit all while being stonewalled at every turn by Republicans.

You deny FDR's policies were designed to insert us into WWII, yet tell me to "read some history."
Oh my, that is funny.

I'd love to hear you elaborate on this completely worthless statement.
You don’t think libtards want their 1960s back?
How ‘bout the Ferguson Race Riot?
They were even calling police officers pigs again! “Pigs in a blanket! Fry ‘em like bacon!”
Or how about athletes grandstanding for racial pimpery?
“The police acted stupidly?”
“If I had a son, he would LOOK like Trayvon.”
Hell, even the New Black Panthers were able to publicly threaten physical harm to Zimmerman the Jewish Latino without any repercussions!

And he only sacrificed 400,000 of our best men for his program. Awesome.
I'll give him credit for bankrupting the British, though. He gave them help like a mafia boss would.

Clinton and Obama both took the country out of recession from Republican administrations.

. . . and that is how a Democrat POTUS ended a recession by being elected and enacting Dem policies. Lovely, isn't it?

You are correct. Obama inherited a disaster and elevated the country out of near 1929 caliber depression and handed Trump a good economy.

I don't recall ever saying that he did not get us into the war. Certainly not in this thread. However, anything to do with that came a good 6+ years after he took office in 1933. And the Depression was still in full force. Nothing was done as far as building up the military until late 1940, over 7 years into his Presidency.
So, to say that FDR's economic policies got us out of the Depression is ridiculous.
So yes, read some history you hack.
No idea what the "you're back online" comment is about.

Obama did hurt the economy and unemployment. He really hurt manufacturing jobs, and oil and gas jobs. He started a two year recession at least.
Obama lifted a 40-year ban on oil exports and was president during one of the largest construction booms in US history

I don't recall ever saying that he did not get us into the war.
Though economists would argue technicalities as to specifically when the US shed shackles of the Depression, none would argue that by the end of WWII, we had entered a new economic era.
Nine years of expansive government and feckless results preceded Pearl Harbor. Without WWII, we'd have had more of the same. But that was not to be. FDR did navigate us into the war.
We exited WWII in a new economic paradigm.
So there it is.
War is the example of Democrat policy employed to end an economic downturn.
When you tell someone making that assertion to read some history, you look silly.

Go ahead and die on your hill. Your argument is dumb.

Carter wasn’t great for the economy.

some argue that his policies extended the depression. if you look at the rest of the world, their recessions ended much earlier. but, the US had additional factors (dust bowl/drought) that effected us differently. also, the start of the war and the "total war" effort pulled us out.

I see you paid close attention to your classes under Mrs. Teachers Union in Libtard High.
Good job.
Unfortunately she sold you a lie!
The recession in Bush the Elders term ended before Clinton’s inauguration.
And Obama only lengthened our economic woes. Trump’s economy is how you “take the country out of recession”!
The shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready!
