FDR. There the socialism process really got going.

I strongly disagree.

FDR did not turn the US into a socialist state. LBJ was the granddaddy of socialism. Nixon and George H.W. Bush, along with George Bush, pushed socialism to stratospheric levels.

Don't blame FDR--that is wrongly placed blame. LBY, et al., took FDR's Social Security and warped it into the cesspool it is today.

Without a doubt, Scumbag was the worse president. What other president had 15 felonies in office???

re. FDR and socialism.

Come on. While you're fretting over the Great Society (frettable, indeed), FDR was setting prices, output quotas, and wages and other labor conditions. Socialist?

Try bloody effin socialist.
