“New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR’s Economic Legacy Has Damaged America by Burton W. Folsom Jr.”
I read this book recently. It really was not anything I already didn’t know since I consider FDR to be the worst President in modern history. He gave us the entitlement mentality. Nothing has been more damaging than that. The book is great reading if you don’t know about the New Deal or its long lasting effects.

Oh, I already know about FDR and how he was able to convince people to give up their freedoms and be willing to replace capitalism with socialism/interventionism because of his ginned up “crisis”. By the time his administration was over, unemployment was even higher than when he took office.
Confiscating taxes from people in order to turn around and give it back to them as their “wages” in “make work jobs” (one guy digs a hole; another fills it up), doesn’t “produce” anything, let alone “growth”.
We have incompetent morons in charge who only know one thing - how to get the whores to vote for them. (They already know they’re whores, it’s just a matter of dickering over the price).

I just watched him on Book TV.
