The US was still in the middle of an economic disaster

So was everyone else, even Germany was starting to run into food shortages. If anything this would be a reason to go to war, as the only thing that ended up getting us out of the great depression was the war.

What reason did the US have to enter Europe until Germany's allies attacked us?

Stopping fascism, and the holocaust. We've started wars on way less justified grounds than that.
