Here's my question.
Would your obnoxious response to the post be based on a sensitivity to the fact that Democrat policies have had deleterious effects on numerous occasions?
And specifically, the financial meltdown in which we find ourselves?
Further, while there were many good results of the FDR reign, ending the depression was not one, and many sources state exactly what the post claims. Here's one:
In 1935, the Brookings Institution (left-leaning) delivered a 900-page report on the New Deal and the National Recovery Administration, concluding that on the whole it retarded recovery.
Under Reagan, the Left howled about Trickle Down Economics. What that meant was that there was wealth being created and allot of it was spread to everyone.
Under FDR, he was trying trickle up economics which is not creating wealth, but rather dividing the wealth that already exists. Reagan's recovery took two years. FDR's would still be faltering along if WW2 had not jump started the economy and destroyed the entire world eliminating competition and allowing unbrideled growth of industy.
In that environment, even Soviet Russia prospered.
