My wife and I were watching the miniseries. She asked me if i liked FDR. Seeing how he died 15 years before I was born, I told her I never had a chance to meet him.
Upon further reflection, I told her to watch the show and see if he sounded like a communist or capitalist.
About an hour later she said, “I see what you mean. Wow, I never knew he did that stuff.”
What the “elite” like to think of a progressive, an objective viewer sees at socialist.
Yeah, no kidding. Couldn't get through 1/2 hour before I fell asleep.
His poll numbers were lower because he wasn't curing economic woes (he was in fact purposely extending them to achieve more Gov't power).
Obama is following FDR's pattern. He is prolonging these economic doldrums so he can gain more power to the Fed Gov't. The Obama EO's are intended to achieve that.
And yet people still lionize ivory chair government lackeys like Keynes. Or try to say he was misunderstood. No he was a big government elitist.
