Funny how the graph doesn't explain what the % is on the Y axis.

80% of what?

No, it's really not.

I know that the notion that the New Deal had no effect on the economy and that WWII was the only thing which got us out of the Great Depression has been a common one since the 1980's (when it took root as it appealingly went along with the Reaganite "big government is bad" mindset), but it simply isn't true.

As it was your statement, I should really demand that you defend it before I comment, so I'll just leave this here:
