Even my liberal history teacher in high school taught that the new deal did very little to stimulate the economy, and was mostly a feel good package to make people feel the government was doing SOMETHING. It was really the just normal recovery and the war which got the economy moving in full force. Plus right after the war, most of the competition to the US was bombed out. We became the defacto powerhouse.
