From the Columbus Dispatch, via Talkingpointsmemo:
“When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That’s just history.” — Congressman Steve Austria (R-Ohio)
As the Dispatch dryly noted, “Most historians date the beginning of the Great Depression at or shortly after the stock-market crash of 1929; Roosevelt took office in 1933.”
