IMO, FDR was the worst president this country has ever had - LBJ is a close second and Nixon and Obama are struggling for third place. In forcing through the leviathan state, he paved the way for all of the additional welfare state programs that are putting us on the path to fiscal insolvency.
Even FDR in his 1935 SOTU said that government relief was like administering a narcotic, and that government must “quit this business of relief.” Whether he meant it or not, the fact is, even he recognized the long-term impact of government programs on the populace.
“FDR was the worst president this country has ever had”, NOPE Wilson and Teddy R. are up there in suckage.
