I have nothing good to say about FDR.

He was Stalin without the skill and opportunity.

On the plus side, he DID know how to get Lucy Mercer, Missy LeHand, and Crown Princess Märtha to wax his weasel like a wheelchair Jeffrey Epstein...

A great book is “New Deal or Raw Deal” by Burton Folsom.

FDR did one really good thing and I know Freepers hate to hear it, but truth is truth: By taking the US off gold in 1933-—something every other country had already done-—he stopped the hemorrhage of gold out of US banks and stopped the collapse.

Contrary to popular myth, it was NOT the FDIC/federal deposit insurance that saved the banks. Studies have shown that in fact deposit insurance WEAKENED banks in the 1920s. But while we could not force France to give us gold for francs or Britain to give us gold for pound sterling, all countries in the world were plundering our gold reserves. The bank collapse halted almost immediately when FDR stopped this.
