My father was a very easy going guy. I never heard him yell, he never barked at people or spoke harshly...until the name of Franklin Roosevelt came up, and he literally went ballistic. He hated the man. At the time I did not understand why, and I never got a chance to ask him once I was old enough to understand. There are so many different views on him and the New Deal, how can one possibly sort it out?

I would be interested in knowing what my father would think of the current economic environment, but he has Alzheimer’s and I fear that if I mention how things are going, that would be the only thing he would remember from day to day. And he was always obsessed over the state of his finances.

Fortunately, I listen to Glenn Beck and dumped his mutual funds around Dow 12000.

There’s a good case to be made against the New Deal, but is DiLorenzo really the right person to make it? Judging from some of Tommy’s other screeds, his opposition can only help FDR.
