Ow! Oh! Ouch! Hey!
....no sooner do I post an informed, factual, supported critique of the Roosevelt hagiography, than the Rooseveltian running dog lackeys start nipping at my heels!
It's been said before: "Truth is the mother of hatred." Ausonius
Seems that an admission of Roosevelt's failures would be, to his devotees, an admission of their own.
Never one to knuckle under....I'm left with but one path: another undeniable exposé of the bankrupt, failed, counter-intuitive economic policies of the anti-American fraud, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The man was elected based on the basis of a national crisis...and on a web of lies. He proved to be a terrible manager of the economy.
Terrible.....he extended the Depression by years!
1. "At the Democratic national convention in June 1932, where FDR was nominated for president of the United States, the Democratic Party issued a platform promising a way out of the Great Depression. The party stated: “We believe that a party platform is a covenant with the people to be faithfully kept by the party entrusted with power.”"

At the time, America was a more faith-based nation...and the word 'covenant' had a religious tone to it....
a. Covenant: A binding agreement; a compact.; In the Bible, a divine promise establishing or modifying God's relationship to humanity or to a particular group.

"...[a] month after accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for the office of president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a campaign radio address to the nation. He focused on the extravagant spending policies of Herbert Hoover’s administration and the federal budget deficits it had created: “Let us have the courage to stop borrowing to meet continuing deficits,” Roosevelt said. “Revenues must cover expenditures by one means or another. Any government, like any family, can, for a year, spend a little more than it earns. But you know and I know that a continuation of that habit means the poorhouse.”

Of course, this was hardly the first lie that Roosevelt told.
Let's go over the platform just to prove that my OPs are undeniable:
"The platform of the Democratic Party, whose ticket Roosevelt headed, called for
.... a 25 percent reduction in federal spending,
...a balanced federal budget,
...a sound gold currency “to be preserved at all hazards,”
....the removal of government from areas that belonged more appropriately to private enterprise
...and an end to the “extravagance” of Hoover’s farm programs.
This is what candidate Roosevelt promised, but it bears no resemblance to what President Roosevelt actually delivered."
"Great Myths of the Great Depression," Lawrence W Reed
Focus on this one:" ....the removal of government from areas that belonged more appropriately to private enterprise..."
Had the Democrats actually fulfilled this promise.....and not created government-sponsored enterprises(GSEs) i.e., FannieMae andFreddieMac....
Get ready....
There would not have been a mortgage meltdown!
