Same reason. I'm sure that it might be possibe to find some obscure
economist working at some obscure regional agricultural college who
would be prepared to state without qualification "that the fiscal
policies followed in Roosevelt's first and second terms *in any way*
exacerbated the depth or length of the great Depression", but even then
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
