Yes, and it exascerbated the Great Depression, and got us 60 years of big government welfare-state socialism as a result. Maybe a new approach is in order?

FDR and the New Deal saved us from the Depression did it? Neoconservatives consider FDR a 20th century "hero"...do you?

FDR made a bad business cycle worse (along with the failure of the Fed). Making labor more expensive through taxation (like social security taxes) and through regulation made the Depression worse, not better.
