Hmmm, my Economics professors in college agreed that WWII brought us out of the depression, and that the 'alphabet soup' policies actually deepened it. Check the numbers. there was a slight uptick thru 1940, but a very large slide thru 1941 into the first quarter of 1942, when military spending went thru the roof after capital was aligned with production needs.
