::::Can anyone tell me why the Progressives were almost always allied with the Eugenicists? Is that part of the New Deal's plan to enslave minorities again, get them on, and keep them on welfare, to capture their votes? --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 01:33, 20 January 2010 (EST)

:::"Reduce unemployment by not counting disillusioned workers who quit actively seeking work". not quite. first the unemployment rate was unknown and the gov't a few years later (1940) invented new ways to measure it using the new mthods of sampling. The New Deal gave these people new jobs (in CCC, WPA, etc) in such a way they would not compete with the regular work force. What they should have done, I wrote, is teach them new skills (labor unions vetoed that, saying that in every city there are thousands of carpenters out of work, so why train new ones to make it worse.) As for increasing the output, that was indeed a challenge, because too few people were buying cars or houses. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 01:54, 20 January 2010 (EST)

::::Yes, but that is what the common use of the term, "supply side" is -- government actions to increase aggregate output. The classic Keynesian model is for government to increase debt and spending to stimulate demand; supply siders increase private incentives to stimulate aggregate output. Your use of the term, applying it to the supply of labor is, shall we say, "a novel interpretation," and would be considered Original Research under Wikipedia's editorial policies.
