Alternate Reality or The View From Libertopia

To be a Libertarian (Republican)  you must be able to look at this graph and see 1926 to 1933 as healthy years leading to a bright future and then see 1933 to 1942 as years of the Great Depression where everything went from bad to worse. You must, in other words , be able to turn reality on its head and believe you've made a good point.
