If the person after Obama is the second coming of FDR then the US is REALLY screwed, as i doubt there will suddenly be massive new free trade

Which is what actually got us outta the Great Depression.


Free trade isn't the reason why US finally got out of the Great Depression.  WW2 was the main reason why the US recovered fully.  The hiring of a mass workforce for military projects.  The same can be pretty much said for Germany before WW2 (besides declaring all debt null from WW1, etc..)
