The GI bill was a great sucess

The G.I. Bill, formally known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, was a law that provided a range of benefits for some of the returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as G.I.s). The original G.I. Bill expired in 1956, but the term "G.I. Bill" is still used to refer to programs created to assist some of the U.S. military veterans.
 
The final bill provided immediate financial rewards for practically all World War II veterans, thereby avoiding the highly disputed postponed life insurance policy payout for World War I veterans that had caused political turmoil in the 1920s and 1930s.[5] Benefits included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business or farm, one year of unemployment compensation, and dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college, or vocational school. These benefits were available to all veterans who had been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been dishonorably discharged.[6]
 
Here’s the dealeo dudes



It was a massive success


Without it what would have happened

Massive unemployment

An economic crash because no one was spending



So FDR and team managed the economy off a cliffs edge

The people got educated and more technical innovations took place


Having people educated is the life’s blood of an economic power


Fascists don’t like education


Hmmmmmmm
 
The GI bill is a good example of why the Republican Party keeps giving up and letting Democrats Fix the mess they cause to the economy (it’s like a history loop)


It proves a government can successfully manage an economy to keep it out of a constant boom and bust cycle


The Uber wealthy hate that


They make more money with a boom and bust economy



In a properly managed economy EVERYONE MAKES MORE MONEY


The wealthy only get to make a reasonable profit

I think we can insist they make that horrendous sacrifice of making a bit less profit


So that 99% of us can have a decent life



What say you all?
 
The affluent actually do far better long term with Democratic economic policies that result in better economic situations for all.

The affluent are generally so defensive of their immediate circumstances, however,
that they are physiologically incapable of thinking "long term."

Everybody seeks to look out for his/her own best interests,
and nobody is absolutely certain what his/her best interests are.
 
Yes we can know what’s best


We just have to stop pretending Keynesian economics doesn’t work even though it’s obvious it works if you believe in real history



Stop letting the wealthy convince you that a government of the people can’t manage the economy like adults


We Democratic Party members keep having to fix what you break


Then you immediately go back to saying it didn’t work and insist we do your failed idiot ideas again until they yet again break everything

The wealthy are more successful at consolidating wealth in a boom and bust economy



It’s why the LIKE crashes


They buy up stuff at a bargain


They don’t care about the peoples misery


It means nothing to them


We have to manage the economy to keep them from letting things crash from time to time


It’s why they fight regulations


They want a free reign

The policy worked like magic


We got the advances that this policy provided


The 1950s boom and we were top in the world


The years republicans refuse to admit they want to go back to



The good ole days when you could raise a family by just getting a job and working hard


Buy a house

Get a new car every 7 years or so


Have a decent retirement


Have great hope for your kiddos lives

There was no massive unemployment after WW2, it was the complete opposite, it led into America's boom years of the 50s.

I am opposed to any law that benefits one single group of people and nobody else.

FDR was right to oppose it.

FDR wanted the legislation to apply to all poor people, not just veterans.

Actually, it didn't. In the immediate postwar years, the US was the only intact, major, industrialized nation on the planet. The Soviet Union was wrecked from war as was most of Europe. The UK was broke from fighting that war. Japan was in ruins as was Germany. The US was the nation providing virtually everyone around the world with manufactured goods and food. So, the US economy was booming. This is true even as major military spending after an initial big drop resumed with the Cold War.

As other nations recovered, the US economy declined.

The GI Bill wasn't some panacea for that. Only about a third of enlisted soldiers, at most, could really make use of it as they were the fraction capable of college level work. The other two thirds went back to work in some factory or other blue-collar job.

The other thing that came out of WW 2 was the acceleration of the Electronics Revolution. This would be the cause of much of our current social and economic upheaval. The plentiful office and factory jobs of the Industrial Age are gone. Computers and other electronics replaced them. No need for workers to push a button or stand by a machine loading and unloading it.

Like the democrats ignoring the housing bubble which caused the recession that Bush had to bail you out from?

Dear fucking idiot

Fuck you very much

Bush was trying to warn congress of the bubble but the democrats ignored him.

Barney Frank and Maxine waters who were in charge denied there was a housing bubble.

I've posted all this proof before.

And that would have worked even better idiot



The GI BILL worked


You have no proof it didn’t

Just the same story Old fucking Republican lies


Republican lie about it every time it works


Then they get elected with those lies and election cheating


Then they give the wealthy everything they can get away with


Then the economy falters


Then Democrats get elected and fix the mess with Keynesian economics economic theory


Then the republicans yet again say “we are all Keynesians know” again


Then as the next election nears they begin to lie about what fixed the economy

Death to the Republican Party


They are a criminal organization
