FDR did it three times, no less!
You’re correct. Moreover, it is a meaningless statement—particularly in view of today’s political climate and dumbed down electorate. It’s like saying Americans pay less taxes than people in other country therefore we should accept higher taxes here. The premise, however, is specious at best. In debate it’s called the glittering generality. In other words it’s nothing more than debate ploy.
The real question should be: Do we want to retain our Constitutional republic form of government and capitalist economy? Or do we want to chuck what made America the most successful economic and social engine the world has ever produced, replacing it with Marxism—an ideology that has failed everywhere it’s been tried? A system that has perpetrated more genocide on the world than Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
