The New Deal was a dismal failure, in other words, as it completely failed to produce an economic recovery, thus proving for all time that government cannot produce economic prosperity.

Just look at Germany and the Soviet Union at the same time.  While the United States and Britian were bogged down by the Great Depression, Germany and Russia nationalized their economies and turned themselves from economic 'poor houses' to superpowers.

The fact that countries like Germany and Russia prospered during the Great Depression is ample evidence to prove your statement inaccurate.

 

Ever hear the term "The cure is worse then the disease."
