Yes, I looked at the numbers but this was the greatest depression this country had every faced. Maybe those numbers would have been better if FDR and congress wold have attacked the problem differently but they could have been a lot worse. What many people don't understand today is that there was real concern that there would be a public uprising, possibly a revolt against the government. When conditions get bad enough , hungry people will follow any person or ideology that promises relief. Both Communism and Nazism had a large following in the 30's. Today we view these movements much differently than people did at that time. FDR's fireside chats involved the people. The promise of new government programs which were more promise than action gave the people hope.FDR was by far the greatest modern president
He took a country from the midst of a Depression and turned us into an economic and military SuperPower
One can only imagine the horrible state we would be in if he listened to the Republicans
Did you check the numbers?
FDR US Unemployment 1932: 24.1%, 1933: 24.9, 1934: 21.7%, 1935: 20.1%, 1936: 16.9%, 1937: 14.3%, 1938: 19.0%, 1939: 17.2%. 8 year Average = 19.8%
Can you point to the year that 'he took a country from the midst of a Depression and turned us into an economic...SuperPower"

No, the economy did not grow during that time. What grew was government spending and government manipulation of the economy propping up a false economy. When Roosevelt became concerned with the debt he was racking up he scaled back government spending and the unemployment rate started shooting right up back, thus pulling away the curtain shrouding the false economy FDR had created. If the economy was truly recovering the growth would have continued despite the lack of government spending because private sector investment would have continued. Instead, it was stagnant because there really was no recovery.
He already was...His name was Herbert Hoover.Had FDR been a Republican . . .

Your rewrites of history will fail just like your failed ideas.

To paraphrase Lloyd Benson
Dude....... "I served with FDR. I knew FDR. FDR was a friend of mine. Hoover is no FDR
United States Unemployment Rate 1920–2008 — Infoplease.com
Keep in mind FDR entered office in 1933
The facts are unemployment went down under FDR and the nations LOVED him.
These people like to piss in thier own eyes while shitting on the Amricans who lived at the time.
They rewrite every part of history they get their hands on.
They hate science, history and higher education so they can defend their failed ideas
