I’m sorry, but we REALLY don’t see eye to eye on this. FDR didn’t resolve the Depression by his policies. He exacerbated and proliferated it well beyond Hoover. By all accounts, some historians and economists concluded it took until Eisenhower to resolve aspects of it. Hoover had a bad situation, FDR made it worse and created generations of government dependency and programs that have grown to obscene proportions that will bankrupt us (now to be outdone by the False Messiah). Take away WW2, and FDR was one of our worst Presidents, bar none. He was no savior, and was the architect of the modern welfare state.

I didn’t say he resolved it...it took time just as this one will, but he kept people alive...The American people were so traumatized by Hoover’s actions or non actions that they did not elect a Repub for president for 20 years.
