rewriting history by Bloomberg?

Who is target audience? People who never taken a history class.

Seething squalid masses of ignorant, rabbit reproducing, violent third worlders is what made America what it is today! Progress is overrated, and squalor is the right and requirement of all compassionate, liberal citizens. Put on your wood bark shoes, and get a carved food bowl half the size, because, well, it's the future of caring and concern for solving the problems of the world right here!

All people who ate cucumbers at any time in their lives die. Eating cucumbers leads to a certain death!

I had no idea about the cucumber thing. Thanks for the heads up!

Nonsense! America always welcomed immigrants, doncha know.

But this fluff piece would have to look at a correlation between depressions and the numerous immigration restricting laws in the US, which they did not do.

Nonsensical jibberish.

LOL

Bloomberg.

Doesn't even merit a reply, just open laughing scorn.

That's not what caused the Great Depression.

Ask a scholar Ben Vernake.

After so many banks failed after gambling in the stock market with depositor's cash, there was a severe lack of banking capacity or there were not enough banks around to grease the wheels of the USA economy.

Banks are a "necessary evil"; you don't borrow money from a bunch of friends to buy a house, a car, or to finance a construction project.

This is one reason the US Treasury with Henry Paulson went to such great lengths to keep Bank of America and Citibank alive.

Yep, since working helicopters weren't really available in any significant numbers up untill 1942-43, dropping money from helicopters wasn't an option immediately after 1929 crash.
