Franklin Roosevelt: A God To The Uninformed

[Unkotare]

WWII saved the American economy. The Depression was prolonged by FDR's policies, which were very destructive until war production ramped up, and put many people back to work. FDR also bent over for Stalin, and enabled the Cold War.

Nonsense propaganda and RW brainwashing. Depression was only prolonged for big business and rich oligarchs. Working people and average Americans loved him for building America and providing blue collar jobs.

The same way Chavez was “loved” by the penniless he manipulated in Venezuela. Same old shit.

No, comparison. None. FDR solved problems and found jobs for poor people. Loved by poor folks who enjoyed work and pay checks.

The CCC, and the WPA were token programs, but yes they did provide some jobs, but it was a drop in the bucket. The real way to create jobs is for government to get out of the way, and not impede business with high taxes, and over regulation. FDR did not embrace that. It took WWII to generate those private sector jobs.

WPA = 8 million jobs.
CCC = 2,750,000 jobs.
High School and College jobs added over 2 million more.

Didn't do a damn thing until Dec. 7th, 1941.

Many comparisons. Re-elected many times on the basis of populist lies to the poor and desperate. Imposed unsustainable economic schemes. Disdain for democracy. Strong-armed the judiciary to his will. A willing pawn to leftist murders.

Ah, if only the Republicans had found a president like FDR. But the closest they could come was with Teddy Roosevelt who saw nothing wrong with socialism.

So if we had only built tanks planes and other war material rather than rebuilding America's infrastructure the depression would have ended? Or is it evidence that FDR did not spend enough on our infrastructure, it took wartime spending. So when the next recession/depression occurs we must remember to build tanks not roads.

More nonsense. WPA peaked on 1938. 3.5 million employed in '38. War jobs made WPA unneeded. Program done by '43.

Did FDR "lose Faith" in Capitalism and resort to Socialism, to "get things done?"

No, he saw value in mixing and blending.
Labels are useless.

Only if you don't know anything about economics.

When FDR took office he said in his inaugural address that he would experiment, try one thing and if that didn't work try another. Apparently there was no textbooks on recession/depressions and after Hoover's four years the Republicans sure didn't have any idea of what to do. So FDR came in experimenting, and many of the FDR experiments are still with us. The experiment I like the most is the one where the government backs one's bank deposits. Our family lost all of our savings when my dad went to the bank to draw out some savings and the bank was closed, never to reopen.

 

[danielpalos]

Capitalism "died in 1929", Socialism has been bailing us out, ever since.

 

[Unkotare]

The point is that everybody was technically uninformed during the four FDR terms while the media held all the cards. The media writes the history books so FDR has achieved virtual political sainthood even though his first two terms were failures and his 3rd term while he was a dying man was an example of the worst that could happen when the media authorizes crazy executive orders and Americans are rounded up and placed behind barbed wire without due process.

Franklin Roosevelt: a god to the uninformed.

The uninformed being America's most noted historians who have rated the presidents since 1948....

Name one, Captain Fallacy.

And how does he address roosevelt's concentration camps, rejection of Jewish refugees, and culpability with stalin's atrocities (to name only a few issues)? Provide links to the professor's published works to support your responses.

"When FDR took office he said in his inaugural address that he would experiment, try one thing and if that didn't work try another."

Hopefully, your pants are on fire this very moment.



FDR never did any such thing.

He promised to end the recession in a way that would have worked...but lied and did the very opposite to turn it into the Depression.....so he could ignore the Constitution.
He, like you, was a fraud and a liar.




1. The hagiography and idol-worship leaves out all understanding of his times...and what he actually said and did. So...here I am to save the day!

2. The basis of FDR's 1932 campaign to win the presidency from Herbert Hoover was his emphatic promise to the suffering American people, that he would balance the budget. Of course, he also promised that he would use the government to create jobs, and that they "had a right to a comfortable living."

3.The part about balancing the budget had a certain resonance as President Harding had veered sharply away from federal spending and solved as big a recession in about one year. Certainly Franklin Roosevelt knew this, as he hammered away at Hoover's spending. October 19, 1932, he nailed Hoover, observing that in recent years federal expenses had increased by $1 billion "and that I may add, is the most reckless and extravagant past that I have been able to discover in the statistical record of any peacetime Government anywhere, any time."
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Campaign Address on the Federal Budget at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

a. Roosevelt went further! The cause: "It arises from one cause only and that is the unbalanced budget at he continued failure of this administration to take effective steps to balance it! If that budget had been fully and honestly balanced in 1930, some of the 1931 troubles would have been avoided. Even if it had been balanced in 1931, much of the extreme dip in 1932 would have been obviated. Every financial man in the country knows why this is true." Franklin D. Roosevelt: Campaign Address on the Federal Budget at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

b. And this: "... carrying out the plain precept of our Party, which is to reduce the cost of current Federal Government operations by 25 percent." Ibid.




You're almost as great a liar as your idol.

FDR quickly dropped the balanced budget cure. It was thought at the time that balancing the budget would end recession/depressions, we now know better. We now practice Keynes to fight those two problems. It was all part of the experimentation.
