I read it and it is quite persuasive. I have been tuned into this idea for a number of years now, but again, it is very hard to imagine the alternative history, especially since WWII and the subsequent economic growth kind of wiped the slate clean.
So, the obvious rejoinder to this cartoon is that everything worked out in the end for Roosevelt, so why not for Obama? You guys are swimming against history! It’s a poor argument, but I don’t think it’s countered very well by trying to emphasize what a disaster Roosevelt was, when people just don’t see it that way.
Ignorance of the issues(on the peoples’ part) does not contend that what he did helped? I for one do not like paying for social security that I for one will most likely never see. Anybody that depends on the government solely to cover them when they retire...........is in trouble. Which is why 12% of gross income goes to my 401(k). It ticks me off when I see that money going to social security when I could be putting into my 401(k). As such though, I will let this issue die on my side now. If you wish to discuss further though, I am all for it.

I jsut can’t believe that with the amount of spending being done and the taxes that will be required, that we can sustain these levels and the projected rates he is going. His spending on social engineering is dwarfing anything that Roosevelt could have hoped to accomplish.
If you are correct, we're headed for another World War to fix what the chosen one is doing.
Looks like the odds are about 60:40
