TAGS: physics, study, science, powerlifting, bench press. Powerlifters often tell me, âYou just donât understand physics! Donât you know that bench pressing straight up and down is the easiest because itâs the shortest possible motion?â Well, I have to agree that some of that is correct.
According to my father who lived through the  Great depression WWII was what brought the U.S. out of the great depression. Everyone had a job during the war. And when the war was over the factories that had been manufacturing war equipment converted over to making things like refrigerators and washers and dryers.
Whether you believe the U.S. came out of the great depression due to 'new deal' programs, or due to WW2...either way, the money the nation (in the form of the government) had was spent for productive purposes...roads and factories were built..etc.
