One of the reasons it's never useful to try to beat the Dems over the head with FDR stuff is that FDR was in office so long that he ended up on both sides of many issues ~ for perfectly good reasons.

He may have had a problem with public sector unions. He also issued an executive order that allowed federal workers to write letters to their Congressmen. That was after the unions had agreed to purge the Commies from organizing the federal work force (including the post office department).

He also agreed to a federal pay raise. I"ve got the pen he signed that with somewhere around here.

As stupid as this Barret guy is he will have been prepared with soundbytes sufficient to toss off earlier FDR quotes.

I say use the FDR didn’t support public sector unions at all due to the fact that it would put the taxpayers against the union.
