totally leaving aside the fact that you are actually proposing that a major crisis in economics which causes people to spend LESS money, therefore killing the economy can be sold with government ALSO spending LESS money, you are historically wrong in numerous respects.

the most important of these is, as i have explained, which were the countries who first came out of the 1929 crises, and the extent of 20 and 29 crises. 20 crisis was not a worldwide crises. even if you did NOTHING, you could, as americans, still came out of that crisis because there was a working economy outside usa, and it would eventually cause usa to do business with the working parts of the global economy and come out of the recession, fast or slow.

but, in a crisis like 29, and this current crisis, in which ENTIRE world comes to a standstill due to this or that reason and spending and lending stops flat, you cannot come out by NOT spending. because, the very problem that causes the crisis is the fact that people are not spending in the first place. so, doing more of the same, does not fix anything.

you should also take into account the fact that the countries which came out of 29 crisis first were those who went on government spending. it is natural for america to take longer to come out, even despite fdr's projects. because america is itself a culture that is brain-washedly dead set against this kind of thing in the first place - it is a miracle that fdr was able to do what he was able to do in the first place. it is a hundred million and more country, with numerous different states and state laws, all with their quirks and dynamics.

capitalism ? didnt it have a premise of trade, in which you paid for something, and you got it ? it seems, in capitalism, even the basic premise of capitalism does not work, unless you go socialist and put forth regulations and laws.

no cherry picking.

the countries who got out of 1929 crisis later, was because other countries which employed government spending got out of crisis earlier and started consumption, therefore increasing international trade. germany, especially, had had started importing a lot of materials.

1929 crisis was a global crisis. like this one. 1920 crisis, was not a global, earth-shattering crisis like the 1929 and this one.

when entire world is in crisis, you cant just let your nation get out of that crisis by its means. because there is noone to sell anything to, by employing people.

your illusions only work when a single country or a number of countries are in deep crisis, but there are still an acceptable economic activity going around the world. when entire world is in crisis, it flops.

it means, the crisis then was not as deeply rooted in the fundamentals of economy as the one in 1929. moreover, if an earth-shattering crisis came just 8 years after that crisis, it means the 'crisis' that time was only delayed.

in the 1929 crisis, no country was able to get out of crisis through employing austerity. not to mention first to come out of the crisis were countries which had increased spending through government, foremost being germany. thankfully, u.s. had fdr, so that you were able to get out of it in time to catch up with world war ii.
