Burns did get in some publicity for the FDR myth. Burns touts the the great government Ag scientists promoting better methods of soil tillage and planting barrier trees. True these mthods were helpful, but let’s face it, FDR raised marginal tax rates to 90%, continued tariffs, and increased bureaucrat rules which proloinged the depression and reduced agricultural demand and prices.
