FDR Averaged 20% unemployment from his inauguration in 1933 until Hitler conquered France in 1940

That happens in a depression.

Only when FDR was President and only for the FDR Depression

It has been repeatedly shown to Frank in thread after thread with indisputable links that he uses the unemployment numbers issued by Stanley Lebergott which represented the persons unavailable to the private labor force and not people actually out of work. It did not represent the persons the way unemployment numbers represent today. Lebergott's method counted workers on public projects building infrastructure like roads, bridges, dams, schools, post offices and collecting pay checks for the work as unemployed because they were not available to the private industry work force. They were considered to be on a form of relief because their pay checks were generated by government agencies or from government funded projects. Another method of calculating unemployment was done by Michael Darby. Darby counted all workers who collected pay checks as being employed. When that method is used the unemployment rate during the Depression during the FDR years fall to as low as 9.6%.

We should not be so quick to discount FDR just because he presided over Depression and world war. It was just a little bad luck.

Hoover ran the country into Depression. Japan, Germany, and Italy declared war on us, but under FDR we won the war and recovered from Depression.

That scumbag fdr, in true democrat fashion, found novel ways of making bad situations worse.

FDR took a downturn in the economy and turned it into a soup line, bodies in ditches full scale depression in eight years. It took the carnage of a World War to turn the economy around.

And Hoovervilles were a figment of our imagination as was the Bonus Army?

Speaking of the bonus army is a story I like contrasting the Hoover and FDR administrations. Hoover sent MacArthur and a contingent of infantry and maybe some tanks to clear the bonus out their Hoovervilles. One or two veterans died and maybe a baby.
When the bonus army met again after the election, FDR sent Eleanor down to talk to the veterans, she had lunch with them, they sang a few WWI songs and Eleanor left.

FDR and his distant cousin/wife Eleanor and Dougout Doug MacArthur always had total support from the lazy drunks that passed for the media in those days. In fact democrats still enjoy the total support regardless of issues from the drunks and druggies that pass for the mainstream media today. How could an administration get away with killing Veterans with tanks and incarcerating American citizens in concentration camps at the stroke of an executive order? FDR owned the media. How could Bubba Bill Clinton get away with credible accusations or rape and degenerate behavior in the Oval Office not to mention using tanks and poison gas against American citizens? You guessed it, the media.

So the historians are communists, and are you now saying the media are communists?

All the people who voted for him were communist too. And the people who visit one of his major Memorial's in Washington DC and New York are communist. In fact, all the people who ride over the major bridges and highways he built are commie's. Even the people still getting electric from the dams he built are communist.

That scumbag fdr, in true democrat fashion, found novel ways of making bad situations worse.

With no instruction book on curing Republican depressions FDR said he had to experiment, and he did. Some didn't turn out the way FDR hoped but in the end the depression was over and the war won. Two great victories and Republicans stood by, fingers in noses, weeping.

FDR said he had to experiment, and he did. ...

Like the democrat currently fucking up the country, he had no fucking clue what he was doing. He irresponsibly played 'cooked spaghetti' with the US economy, greatly deepening and lengthening the depression.

If the South hadn't been electrified, there wouldn't be many right-wing bloggers.

So it's a mixed bag

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

under FDR we won the war and recovered from Depression.

dear, had it not been for liberal policies of Hoover (Hoover Dam stimulus) and FDR there would have been no Depression or world war that killed 60 million.

Liberalism is based in pure ignorance.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

With no instruction book.

spoken like the true illiterate you are. There was indeed an instruction book on world history and it said freedom works and lib commie govt does not. Hoover and FDR lacked the IQ to understand so we had 16 years of Depression and 5 years of world war with 60 million killed that could have been avoided within a year by switching to freedom and capitalism.

But FDR was doing something, and what he was doing must have been right for the people to vote for him four times in a row and Historians to name him America's best president. Know any other president that was so elected and so named? We can wait.

No, see books on world history are about the history of the world and not about curing depressions. Depressions are great big recessions and instruction books usually tells one how to do something.

Yeah, it's called 'lying.' Every other President before him had the class to limit themselves to what Washington had established. He was enough of a power-hungry, arrogant, opportunist to play on fears and insecurities in a way none of his predecessors had. He was a dangerous scumbag set on gathering power unto himself at any cost.

because we have not had another world war happening since then.

too stupid!! People supported Hannibal and Hitler for years but that does not mean they were right!! FDR's record speaks for itself: 16 years of depression and 5 years of world war. If historians like that what does that tell you about historians!! If it had been 50 years of depression and 20 years of world war they would have loved him even more. Get it now?

FDR inherited the depression. But anyhow, explain explain how you come up with 16 years. And when you are done, explain 5 years of war. And by the way, Hannibal wasn't elected and Hitler made himself a dictator that didn't need majority support. He wouldn't have gotten votes from a lot of voters, particularly the ones he murdered or sent away to camps or terrorized.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

FDR inherited the depression.

FDR, during campaign, proposed conservative cures for Depression then turned liberal in office. In short, he and Hoover were both economic idiots and liberals. FDR inherited a liberal depression and prolonged it with liberal policies till his death finally ended it.
