I agree with the tariff issue. They tried that in the 30's and it didn't put people back to work. It was only after we started selling massive amounts of war material to England that people really started going back to work. The government jobs programs didn't really get that many people working with dam and road projects. Industry, with increased sales, are the ones who created enough jobs to really start putting the US back to work. Roosevelt's lend lease program and his circumvention of the current neutrality laws that allowed companies to accept orders for equipment and ships are what put people back to work and finally pulled the US out of the depression. Our government today should look at the real history of the depression and job creation. Sure grade and high school history books would have us believe that the government job program is what saved us. But real history disproves that. Corporate America is the main employment force. When companies can sell goods and increase sales they hire.
Interestingly several sources claim the official government figures for unemployment during the depression around 50%. Historians for colleges are saying it was more like 80% at the worst. They also say that the government had no real way of knowing the exact figures because they lacked the means we have today to gather information.
