Thank you FDR

We all know how certain board members have a hilarious hatred against FDR, but let's look at what one of the greatest presidents this nation has ever had did for the people:

- The NIRA
- Abolishing prohibition.
- The "first 100 days" program to grant relief to tens of millions.
- Created the TVA, continued FERA, don't forget the CCC.

- Drastically decreased unemployment.
- The good neighbor policy

- He added millions of acres to America's national forests, national parks, and wildlife refuges.
- He was elected four times for a reason
- During FDR's presidency, women were appointed to positions that were unprecedented in terms of both number of appointments as well as rank in the United States government.

What FDR was handed:

By the time that FDR was inaugurated president on March 4, 1933, the banking system had collapsed, nearly 25% of the labor force was unemployed, and prices and productivity had fallen to 1/3 of their 1929 levels. Reduced prices and reduced output resulted in lower incomes in wages, rents, dividends, and profits throughout the economy. Factories were shut down, farms and homes were lost to foreclosure, mills and mines were abandoned, and people went hungry. The resulting lower incomes meant the further inability of the people to spend or to save their way out of the crisis, thus perpetuating the economic slowdown in a seemingly never-ending cycle.

At the height of the Depression in 1933, 24.9% of the total work force or 12,830,000 people was unemployed. Although farmers technically were not counted among the unemployed, drastic drops in farm commodity prices resulted in farmers losing their lands and homes to foreclosure.

The displacement of the American work force and farming communities caused families to split up or to migrate from their homes in search of work. "Hoovervilles," or shantytowns built of packing crates, abandoned cars, and other scraps, sprung up across the nation. Residents of the Great Plains area, where the effects of the Depression were intensified by drought and dust storms, simply abandoned their farms and headed for California in hopes of finding the "land of milk and honey." Gangs of unemployed youth, whose families could no longer support them, rode the rails as hobos in search of work. America 's unemployed citizens were on the move, but there was no place to go that offered relief from the Great Depression.

The irony is, there have been many papers from economists showing that most, if not all, of these programs CAUSED the depression.

By the way, notice all those programs put in place in 1935 to 1936 and 1937? Do you know what happened in 1936 to 1937?

The economy crashed. We had a recession inside the great depression.

These programs didn't fix the economy, they crashed it.

The economy crashed because FDR eased up on social spending and implemented austerity

Roosevelt Recession - Roosevelt Institute

Keynesians point to FDR’s spending cuts in June of 1937. Some of his advisers urged him to balance the budget, and he cut government spending. After FDR reversed course in 1938 and went back to deficit spending, the unemployment rate began to fall, and kept falling until there was virtually no unemployment by 1945.

The irony is, there have been many papers from economists showing that most, if not all, of these programs CAUSED the depression.

By the way, notice all those programs put in place in 1935 to 1936 and 1937? Do you know what happened in 1936 to 1937?

The economy crashed. We had a recession inside the great depression.

These programs didn't fix the economy, they crashed it.

The economy crashed because FDR eased up on social spending and implemented austerity

Well... that's a lovely unsupportable theory contradicted by every economic text book on the great depression I've ever read.........

You'll excuse me, if I find someone else more knowledgeable to talk to....

as everybody at USMB finds when they try and have a discussion with USMB's resident troll,its simple as pie to OWN the ass of this sorry ass troll and sad excuse for a human being who whines to the mods on threads he makes in the politics section,such a sad little crybaby.

you would have better luck trying to educate a baby born on day one fresh out of the womb than this stupid retarded troll.

Other than rightwing propaganda, it is the accepted reason for the 1937 collapse

I have a half dozen Ph.D economists that say otherwise.

Whom would you cite to support your claim? Specific paper please, and I won't accept Paul Krugman who openly supported creating a housing price bubble, and then claimed it was Bush's fault for a housing crash.

You made the claim, now please provide a citation.

You will be waiting for years on end for that.LOL this troll when he knows he has been checkmated and OWNED,has to lie while hiding behind the computer.he would kill himself first before ever admitting he was wrong.

prime example,he is so butthurt STILL today two years later after it happened that he was wrong about the Rams not coming back to LA which he insisted would never happen four years ago when i said they would,he trys to convince himself he is right,that they are still playing in st louis. I am serious,i am not kidding at all.i cant make this stuff up.

he has to LIE when he knows his sorry ass is getting taken to school.

I am sure you have seen yourself how he evades facts all the time and changes the subject? LOL

What FDR was handed:

By the time that FDR was inaugurated president on March 4, 1933, the banking system had collapsed, nearly 25% of the labor force was unemployed, and prices and productivity had fallen to 1/3 of their 1929 levels. Reduced prices and reduced output resulted in lower incomes in wages, rents, dividends, and profits throughout the economy. Factories were shut down, farms and homes were lost to foreclosure, mills and mines were abandoned, and people went hungry. The resulting lower incomes meant the further inability of the people to spend or to save their way out of the crisis, thus perpetuating the economic slowdown in a seemingly never-ending cycle.

At the height of the Depression in 1933, 24.9% of the total work force or 12,830,000 people was unemployed. Although farmers technically were not counted among the unemployed, drastic drops in farm commodity prices resulted in farmers losing their lands and homes to foreclosure.

The displacement of the American work force and farming communities caused families to split up or to migrate from their homes in search of work. "Hoovervilles," or shantytowns built of packing crates, abandoned cars, and other scraps, sprung up across the nation. Residents of the Great Plains area, where the effects of the Depression were intensified by drought and dust storms, simply abandoned their farms and headed for California in hopes of finding the "land of milk and honey." Gangs of unemployed youth, whose families could no longer support them, rode the rails as hobos in search of work. America 's unemployed citizens were on the move, but there was no place to go that offered relief from the Great Depression.

Wait....wut?

How about a list of the great accomplishments of Hitler?

Cancer

In December 1933 the Reich Anticancer Committee was founded to better organize and coordinate the nationwide research towards cancer. A lot of attention was being paid to preventive medicine, especially early detection. Later on, even more emphasis was laid upon prevention.

In the middle of the 1933's, 6 to 10 percent of all dead bodies in Germany were subjected to autopsy, giving statisticians the opportunity to analyze cancer rates.

In 1936 a study based on the autopsy figures of about 125,000 men (an impressive figure, it was the largest study of its kind anywhere in the world) was ready, showing that 18 percent of German men had died from cancer.

Tobacco

Hitler also initiated a war against this evil thing. Smoking got banned more and more, except in the Army. He or Himmler later admitted that was a mistake, but the initial reason was to keep moral high.

Due to the measures and propaganda against the use of tobacco, up till the 1950's the huge drop in cancer rates, compared with other countries, was visible. Hitler saved thousands of lives.

Child Labor

April 30, 1938: Youth Protection Law: also later on, children and young mothers got barred from working under specific circumstances.

Alcohol

Different measures were taken to i.e. the 1940 "Operation Tea", in which the consumption of non-alcoholic beverages at work was stimulated by sending all factories were workers worked under high temperature circumstances were supplied with tea.

Healthy food

German bakeries were required to produce whole-grain bread.

Healthy food was marked with the seal of approval of the NSDAP's Office of Public Health.

Meat vs. Vegetables: "Too much meat can make you sick", suggesting soybeans as subsitutes for meat, etc.

Animal Rights

A ban on vivisection.

Environment

The Nazis created nature preserves, championed sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature

Gun Control

The Weimar Republic had strict gun control laws

On Progressive taxation

50% of wages and that was only applied to the top 4% of the income distribution.

Hitler sounds like a great Progressive, doesn't he.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

.... thousands of America's most noted historians.....

And you've never named even one.

...ever.

Have you ever done your own scholarly homework and looked up any of the numerous Presidential Ratings by historians? Time you learned to do your own research, it's part of the history thing.

you always get egg on your face when you say always failing to mention these historians always rate the most corrupt as the best because they are on the governments payroll. that is WHY John Tyler one of the few non corrupt presidents who followed the constitution,is always rated towards the bottom.same with wrongwinger and campy troll,as always,you have egg on your face at the end of the day.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

If I might summarize your belief system...

You purposely ignore the following FACTS about FDR:

• condemned Hoover during the 1932 campaign for economic interventions, then intervened 1,000 times more than Hoover.
• actively tried to stack the Supreme Court, when his stupid policies were found unconstitutional.
• forced farmers nationwide to destroy their products under the belief that scarcity would revive the economy, all while millions of Americans were starving.
• filled his administration with Stalinist spies and ignored all warnings about them. His closest adviser reported directly to Stalin.
• set up Poland to make provocative demands of Hitler before Germany invaded, making many promises he had no intention of fulfilling.
• in the 1940 campaign he said repeatedly that American boys would not die in Europe, all the while actively trying to get Hitler to sink American shipping as a pretense for war.
• Placed absurdly stringent sanctions on Japan, knowing they would likely resort to military action.
• Knew Japan planned to attack Pearl Harbor BEFOREHAND, but told no one (but did manage to get the carriers out of Pearl) and scapegoated commanders after the event.
• Provided massive amounts of supplies to the USSR, while American troops went without and suffered on the battlefield for it.
• Placed the requirement of unconditional surrender on Japan and Germany (per Stalin's direction), thus prolonging the war causing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
• Imprisoned Americans during the war unconstitutionally.
• Refused to bomb Nazi prison camps and rail lines leading to them, knowing full well what was going on there.
• Knew Stalin committed the atrocity at the Katyn Forest, but continued to blame Germany.
• Was terribly ill and entirely unfit to be POTUS during the war and even ran for a fourth term, from his deathbed.

What is there to admire?

Interesting how you support the interests of Nazis and Japan over FDR

yeah that is what I did...leftist statists...ugh.

I can only advise you as I have with others: Get your historical information as quickly as possible to the historians before they rate the presidents again. Perhaps those historians simply failed history but you have it all down so it should be a revelation to them. All I ask is that you let us on the boards know their responses.

Once again, that is a logical fallacy, you idiot.

Using thousands of America's most noted historians will probably never compare to your knowledge of high school history. You could be an authority on something but it's not logic or history.

thats REALLY getting desperate and desperatly grasping at straws now saying THOUSANDS of Americas most noted historians.comedy gold from you as always. you are sounding more and more like WRONGwinger all the time.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

It seems that hundreds of America's most noted historians is a pretty good authority. But then we have the authority on logic, Unkotare, calling it a fallacy, so I think I will go with the hundreds of historians. Nothing personal Unkotare.

Yep for sure,the REAL historians who are not funded by our corrupt government actually do what you take the time to do,look at the documentation and FACTS.


All the items I posted above about your beloved FDR, are true. Why would still admire such a person? Merely because statist historians tell you to. That does you no favors.


yep only cause statist historians tell him what they want him to hear is WHY he admires him.LOL YOU NAILED IT.

You posted opinions, conspiracy theories and rumors as fact

Yeah only a duped statist doesn't know FDR imprisoned Americans unconstitutionally, didn't try to pack the SC, didn't imposed unconditional surrender on Japan and Germany, didn't impose extreme sanctions on Japan leading to war, didn't destroy farmers products while some Americans were starving, didn't lie in the 1932 and 1940 campaigns, didn't run for a fourth term from his deathbed...man you really are a statist dupe.

FDR opposed anti-lynching laws.

Roosevelt condemned lynching as murder, but he did not support Republican proposals to make it a federal crime, although his wife Eleanor did so. Roosevelt told an advocate: "If I come out for the anti-lynching bill now, they [Southern Democratic senators] will block every bill I ask Congress to pass to keep America from collapsing. I just can't take that risk".

Damned Dims!

So have you Left winged goons lynched Rosanne Barr for her racial comments yet?

"Hoovervilles," or shantytowns built of packing crates, abandoned cars, and other scraps, sprung up across the nation. Residents of the Great Plains area, where the effects of the Depression were intensified by drought and dust storms, simply abandoned their farms and headed for California in hopes of finding the "land of milk and honey." Gangs of unemployed youth, whose families could no longer support them, rode the rails as hobos in search of work. America 's unemployed citizens were on the move, but there was no place to go that offered relief from the Great Depression.

The irony is, there have been many papers from economists showing that most, if not all, of these programs CAUSED the depression.

By the way, notice all those programs put in place in 1935 to 1936 and 1937? Do you know what happened in 1936 to 1937?

The economy crashed. We had a recession inside the great depression.

These programs didn't fix the economy, they crashed it.

The economy crashed because FDR eased up on social spending and implemented austerity

The primary reason FDR slowed down the economy was the fear that it was getting better too fast and they were afraid of starting the depression anew. What were the Republican's plan for ending the depression? Hoover had four years to implement the Republican plan and it resulted in more Hoovervilles.

The bottom line is what can Republicans do with a president that has been rated by historians, since 1948, as one of the three best American presidents? Well first, Republicans can call the thousand or so, most noted historians that so rated FDR, as commie-pinkos. That takes care of the historians.
Then they can list their usual charges that Republicans have used since FDR was president, as if no one have ever heard of these charges before. Most of these charges were around when the American people elected FDR four times in a row. And even that four times has become a charge. Americans should not be allowed to vote for the president they want.
Social Security was also, at one time, one of those Republican charges, Have Republicans now dropped Social Security as a charge against FDR?

Only those incapable of thinking, continually use appeal to authority to make their point.



i

The appeal to authority is used as evidence that one's post is correct, if the authority is also correct. A great deal concerning FDR and his time-frame is history, and who is better to use in historical time-frames than historians? Do you use any authorities for or just create up your own evidence. and not try to back it up with authority?

What FDR was handed:

By the time that FDR was inaugurated president on March 4, 1933, the banking system had collapsed, nearly 25% of the labor force was unemployed, and prices and productivity had fallen to 1/3 of their 1929 levels. Reduced prices and reduced output resulted in lower incomes in wages, rents, dividends, and profits throughout the economy. Factories were shut down, farms and homes were lost to foreclosure, mills and mines were abandoned, and people went hungry. The resulting lower incomes meant the further inability of the people to spend or to save their way out of the crisis, thus perpetuating the economic slowdown in a seemingly never-ending cycle.

At the height of the Depression in 1933, 24.9% of the total work force or 12,830,000 people was unemployed. Although farmers technically were not counted among the unemployed, drastic drops in farm commodity prices resulted in farmers losing their lands and homes to foreclosure.

What were the Republican's plan for ending the depression? Hoover had four years to implement the Republican plan and it resulted in more Hoovervilles.

They were trying to sell the idiotic idea that the same polices that caused the Depression would end it, or something stupid like that. Then they were puzzled as to why they lost big time to FDR. As we now know, FDR didn't spend nearly enough, and should have spent a lot more a lot sooner. Even the Republicans are here telling us the massive govt spending worked, but they're too stupid to realize what they're saying.
