Point 2 is in error: FDR's programs starting in 1933 were actually making progress at correcting the problems of the Great Depression until (after the 1936 elections) the Republicans in Congress put budget cuts into the "top priority" slot over job creation. The result? The economy, which had been on the road to recovery, stopped and it took until a bit after WWII for things to really get back up to speed.
