Chapter 1638 Add More Updates for Dr. Ye
"From 1929 to 1933, an economic crisis that started in the United States swept across the entire capitalist world.
In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, a donkey party member who used the "New Deal" reform as his campaign slogan, became the new President of the United States.
The implementation of Roosevelt's New Deal made the United States gradually walk out of the shadow of the economic crisis, and social productivity was restored to a certain extent. . . "
Andy sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his whole body was enveloped by the warm winter sun, with a sunny smile on his face, facing the ace female anchor of NBC, leaning on the seat a little lazily, with a magnetic voice Eloquently.
"Hehe, I believe that students who have taken history classes should be very clear about the above things! Looking back on the class back then, the teacher was extremely proud of what he said, and we were also very proud of what we heard. But, I have to say, this is not the truth of the matter. "
NBC ace Katie Couric asked with a look of surprise on her face, "Isn't it?"
Andy smiled and shook his head, "Before President Roosevelt took office, the U.S. economy had bottomed out and there were signs of recovery!
The effect of the New Deal on the recovery of the US economy was not obvious. In other words, Roosevelt's New Deal did not free the United States from the crisis, but "brought" another crisis.
This is the little-known economic crisis of 1937-1938. This also made the American people who had just seen the hope of economic recovery fall into despair again, and the unemployment rate returned to the level of 1932.
Until 1939, in September of this year, Germany blitzed Poland and the Second World War broke out, which brought a turning point to the US economy!
When the "World War II" ended, the U.S. economy recovered, the unemployment rate dropped to 1.9%, and the GDP rose to twice that of the early days of World War II. After World War II, the United States also became the most powerful country in terms of economic power. "
"You mean to say that it was not Roosevelt's New Deal that really revived the U.S. economy, got out of the quagmire of the economic crisis, and brought prosperity to the U.S. economy, but World War II!" Katie Couric frowned slightly, pretending to be surprised asked rhetorically.
"Haha, I don't deny President Roosevelt's achievements, but the impact of World War II on the American economy is beyond doubt!
War requires a lot of supplies. Remember that picture of milk being dumped during the economic crisis?
From the perspective of supply and demand, the specific reason for the outbreak of the economic crisis is that supply exceeds demand. When World War II first broke out, the United States did not participate.
But the United States is providing military supplies for the European battlefield. Those factories that had stopped production, the machines are turning again.
In less than three years, Ford built a total of 8,600 four-engine B-24 "Liberator" bombers, 5,700 aircraft engines and more than 250,000 tanks, destroyers and other war machines.
Factories such as Boeing, Chrysler, Dodge, etc. are working overtime at full speed. As the market's demand for military supplies increases, the demand for labor has also increased. Workers who were once out of work are returning to work, and former housewives are joining the workforce. . . . . . "
Andy is like a scholar who specializes in the study of World War II. All kinds of data are at his fingertips, and various short stories are told in a very humorous way to testify his arguments. All the staff were deeply attracted and listened carefully to the history lesson of World War II that Andy gave them.
Andy picked up the coffee cup, took a sip of coffee, put down the coffee cup gracefully, and continued with a smile: "The reason why I said so much is because I want to explain the true meaning of what I said in the corridor of the Capitol Building There is no doubt about the achievements and greatness of President Roosevelt, and no one can deny it, because this is an iron fact verified by history.
The meaning of my words is to remind this administration not to make radical decisions just to surpass anyone, and not to be fooled by the aura of Roosevelt’s New Deal. President Roosevelt made major changes to liberalism.
He believes that if a person fails to meet the needs of life, he will not be able to achieve real "freedom". Therefore, if citizens are to be given real freedom, the government should ensure citizens' material needs, job opportunities, medical conditions, retired life.
Therefore, he greatly expanded the functions of the government, established a series of welfare programs and policies to intervene in the economy. President Roosevelt became the ancestor of big government in the United States, and his "New Deal" was a product of big government, which far exceeded the design of the founding fathers of the United States to limit government power.
Roosevelt was able to achieve that New Deal, for example, the establishment of a social security system that provided pensions, and the famous government loan bank Freddie Mac, precisely because of crises like the Great Depression, when most voters lost confidence in themselves in the face of crises , Pinned their hopes on the government's security and welfare projects, thus beginning Americans' dependence on the government, and thus, it also secured a large election vote for the Donkey Party. "
At this time, everyone present was refreshed. To be honest, what Americans fear most is not official corruption, but the loosening of government power. Putting government power in a cage is the only way Americans can guarantee themselves. Liberty, democracy, the key points of equality.
"I know that some people will see this financial crisis as a great opportunity, because the crisis allows you to do things that you couldn't do before. But I must tell you that although the economic crisis brings hardships, the government uses it. The economic crisis will increase the power of the government, but it will bring even greater disasters. The economic policy of the big government, which is opposed to the ideas of the founding fathers, needs to be balanced and restricted, and the power of the government needs to be limited!"
"Papa--"
The female anchor Katie applauded excitedly, her eyes sparkled brightly, and she exclaimed: "I completely agree with your point of view, limiting the power of the government is the obligation of every American citizen, and it is also entrusted to us by the law. Power, that's why I call and encourage people to vote every time, because the ballot is a good recipe for us to put the monster of power in a cage."
Andy smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Katie's words. The reason why he made a lot of noise this time, using data to talk about World War II and Roosevelt's New Deal, was to bring out the disadvantages of big governmentism and arouse the public's concern. Be vigilant, for next year's mid-term elections, let the Elephant Party occupy the congressional platform.
You must know that the American people attach great importance to limiting the power of the government, which is also one of the main reasons for the two-party ruling cycle in the United States.
"Mr. Smith, although big government has the risk of increasing government power, high welfare policies can benefit Americans. How do you view the fact that the current unemployment rate is so high and the gap between rich and poor is further widening?" When Katie asked this question, she secretly expressed her admiration for the big boss in front of her. When reviewing the manuscript before the interview, the program team, including herself, thought that the big boss would cross out this question, but what she didn't expect was , this sensitive issue has been retained.
"First of all, although welfare programs can increase the wealth of the poor, they cannot help the poor get out of poverty. This has been verified in the past two decades, and the period of turmoil has also proved that reducing welfare expenditures may not necessarily equal people's lives. The level is down, I don't know how much the US government is willing to spend to support the "big dream" of fighting poverty, but what I want to say is that the government's welfare policy can never beat poverty! Because to beat poverty, it needs to create wealth for people Opportunities, so that everyone can get out of poverty through their own efforts under equal opportunities."
Andy is not worried about the gap between the rich and the poor at all, because he has already prepared a big gift to send out, this big gift is for the people of the United States, and this also needs a reason, and it is precisely Katie's question gave him a chance.
"However, the current economic situation, the record high unemployment rate, and the surge in the number of homeless people all tell us one fact, that is, people have lost the opportunity to get out of poverty through their own efforts under equal opportunities. . What should I do?"
Andy suddenly adjusted his sitting posture, changed his lazy posture, sat up straight with a serious expression, and said very seriously: "This requires the joint efforts of the government and all walks of life to create more jobs and reduce the number of unemployed.
I know that major companies around the world are now laying off workers on a large scale in order to reduce the company's losses. Before that, my newspaper office and Starbucks also had layoffs. In order to help more people get out of the predicament, I decided that in the future Within one year, all the companies under my umbrella will jointly hold 100 job fairs, which will be held alternately in major cities. As long as you are an American citizen, as long as you are a professional counterpart, and confident that you have outstanding abilities, then come!
The recruitment slogan this time is called "everyone in the United States has a work trip"! I can't help everyone, but I can provide you with equal opportunities, come on, new jobs are already beckoning to you, and I also hope that major companies can join this American job journey ! "
Andy faced the camera, and threw out the first bone of his craziest sense of beauty!
