I have nothing good to say about FDR.
Churchill deserves his accolades as one of the greatest men in modern history.
the author of this drivel...not so much
And it spawned Harvard as the thinktank, reservoir of “talent” and wellspring of liberal ideology to keep the new deal and its intellectual descent going. No, we rightly repulse Roosevelt exactly because of the New Deal. It was the vector that set America off slouching towards Gomorrah. Buckley’s invective on this subject is exactly right.

All entitlement programs, including Social security and Medicare, should have been state level programs. States cannot issue their own coinage, so as a practical matter, extended deficit spending is not possible.

The author is an idiot.
“FDR’s reforms set the stage for the period of postwar prosperity in which industrial jobs became middle class jobs, and America experienced mass prosperity on a previously unknown scale”
No. The post-war industrial jobs boom was going to happen no matter what after WWII - FDR and his programs or not.
“FDR was a populist who could execute”
No. FDR was a progressive with a progressive agenda. He used populists tropes for getting public opinion backing. And, his depression policies were actually bad for the working man, no matter how much he sold them as “populist” programs for the working man. They - FDR policies - were bad for the working man because they made the depression worse and longer.
I could go on.
Horsepoop. The FED created the great depression by not performing their only job, print money. Institutional reset? You mean like confiscating gold, closing banks? Crazy talk. FDR's greatest asset was his oratory and rallying the country in the war effort. The new deal and all the socialist fixing of the economy only made things worse and the only thing that got us out of the great depression was socialism lost its luster and the pull back from those asinine policies. WWII did not get us out of the Great Depression, that is a myth. We were done with it in 1940.
“That was for two terms. But that was it. We didn’t know the guy was going to hold on to the job like a pope!”
This author is insane. In terms of lasting effects, Franklin Roosevelt is the worst president we ever had because he caused us to stop going by the constitution when he successfully intimidated the supreme court.
FDR fought Germany and Japan because, as a socialist, he did not want his power taken away.
Maybe Wilson, but certainly they’re 1 and 2 for the worst.
Ask me what vile evil monster took office in 1933 and died in office in April 1945 and my first answer is Franklin D Roosevelt.
FDR was a socialist that caused the great depression.
“As with civil rights, conservatism ultimately made peace with the New Deal,”
Democrats were pro-slavery, passed Jim Crow laws, and segregated the nation. Don’t try to stick that on “conservatism.”

FDR STOLE from Americans. He confiscated citizens Gold, their Wealth, created the basis for Socialism in America.
My father, a decorated WW2 combat infantryman, spit when heard his name. He was most definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
