As much as I dislike FDR, he did do some things that were better than just doling out money to poors for nothing. He created the Works Progress Administration that was responsible for building many public buildings throughout the country creating jobs, and he created the CCC Civilian Conservation Corps that had multiple works projects in agriculture, environment etc.

Try that today and the first thing that happens is the workers bitch about a “living wage.”

He took inspiration from what Hitler was doing in Germany.

My father, who worked for the WPA before being drafted to fight in WWII, called it "We Piddle Around".

But they had to at least show up to work, unlike today.
