He didn't rescue the country from the Great Depression you idiot...FDR made it worse, he made it longer than any other Depression in our history.......you idiot.

What deranged homeschool did you go to.

Obviously, you are too young to remember the Great Depression, but I've known people who lived through it, and they had nothing but great things to say about FDR.

Oh, recent survey of Presidential Greats... He comes in at #3 after Lincoln and Washington.

Trump comes in at... 41. And that's only because you have the guys who messed up and caused the Civil War on there.

They don't know what happened...they were too busy suffering under the FDR depression to know that he caused it to get worse and to last longer with his policies....

Left wing historians? When will you stop lying to yourself?

 

[2aguy]

Here’s the thing, pumpkin, while the rabid leftists whine about the evil white man and his entitlements, the leftist democrats are the party of those entitlements. Why not do the noble thing and donate your welfare check to those needy folks you whine about but care nothing for. Everyone gets it, those poor, oppressed blacks are talking points for democrats.

I don't get entitlements... I work two jobs and work about 80 hours a week. I already know that I probably won't be able to maintain my lifestyle on social security, so I'm working very hard to save up enough money so I can.

But the point clearly went over your head, snookums. You guys whine ALL DAY about poverty relief programs, but are perfectly fine with middle class entitlements that keep middle class people from becoming poor if they are unemployed, sick or elderly.

You are an idiot...

Roosevelt's policies prolonged and deepened it.

There's no doubt that Roosevelt changed the character of the American government—for the worse. Many of the reforms of the 1930s remain embedded in policy today: acreage allotments, price supports and marketing controls in agriculture, extensive regulation of private securities, federal intrusion into union-management relations, government lending and insurance activities, the minimum wage, national unemployment insurance, Social Security and welfare payments, production and sale of electrical power by the federal government, fiat money—the list goes on.

Roosevelt's revolution began with his inaugural address, which left no doubt about his intentions to seize the moment and harness it to his purposes. Best remembered for its patently false line that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," it also called for extraordinary emergency governmental powers.

The day after FDR took the oath of office, he issued a proclamation calling Congress into a special session. Before it met, he proclaimed a national banking holiday—an action he had refused to endorse when Hoover suggested it three days earlier.

Invoking the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, Roosevelt declared that "all banking transactions shall be suspended." Banks were permitted to reopen only after case-by-case inspection and approval by the government, a procedure that dragged on for months. This action heightened the public's sense of crisis and allowed him to ignore traditional restraints on the power of the central government.

In their understanding of the Depression, Roosevelt and his economic advisers had cause and effect reversed. They did not recognize that prices had fallen because of the Depression. They believed that the Depression prevailed because prices had fallen. The obvious remedy, then, was to raise prices, which they decided to do by creating artificial shortages. Hence arose a collection of crackpot policies designed to cure the Depression by cutting back on production. The scheme was so patently self-defeating that it's hard to believe anyone seriously believed it would work.

The goofiest application of the theory had to do with the price of gold. Starting with the bank holiday and proceeding through a massive gold-buying program, Roosevelt abandoned the gold standard, the bedrock restraint on inflation and government growth. He nationalized the monetary gold stock, forbade the private ownership of gold (except for jewelry, scientific or industrial uses, and foreign payments), and nullified all contractual promises—whether public or private, past or future—to pay in gold.

Besides being theft, gold confiscation didn't work. The price of gold was increased from $20.67 to $35.00 per ounce, a 69% increase, but the domestic price level increased only 7% between 1933 and 1934, and over rest of the decade it hardly increased at all. FDR's devaluation provoked retaliation by other countries, further strangling international trade and throwing the world's economies further into depression.

Having hobbled the banking system and destroyed the gold standard, he turned next to agriculture. Working with the politically influential Farm Bureau and the Bernard Baruch gang, Roosevelt pushed through the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933. It provided for acreage and production controls, restrictive marketing agreements, and regulatory licensing of processors and dealers "to eliminate unfair practices and charges." It authorized new lending, taxed processors of agricultural commodities, and rewarded farmers who cut back production.

The objective was to raise farm commodity prices until they reached a much higher "parity" level. The millions who could hardly feed and clothe their families can be forgiven for questioning the nobility of a program designed to make food and fiber more expensive. Though this was called an "emergency" measure, no President since has seen fit to declare the emergency over.

Industry was virtually nationalized under Roosevelt's National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933. Like most New Deal legislation, this resulted from a compromise of special interests: businessmen seeking higher prices and barriers to competition, labor unionists seeking governmental sponsorship and protection, social workers wanting to control working conditions and forbid child labor, and the proponents of massive spending on public works.

The legislation allowed the President to license businesses or control imports to achieve the vaguely identified objectives of the act. Every industry had to have a code of fair competition. The codes contained provisions setting minimum wages, maximum hours, and "decent" working conditions. The policy rested on the dubious notion that what the country needed most was cartelized business, higher prices, less work, and steep labor costs.

To administer the act, Roosevelt established the National Recovery Administration and named General Hugh Johnson, a crony of Baruch's and a former draft administrator, as head. Johnson adopted the famous Blue Eagle emblem and forced businesses to display it and abide by NRA codes. There were parades, billboards, posters, buttons, and radio ads, all designed to silence those who questioned the policy. Not since the First World War had there been anything like the outpouring of hoopla and coercion. Cutting prices became "chiseling" and the equivalent of treason. The policy was enforced by a vast system of agents and informers.

Eventually the NRA approved 557 basic and 189 supplementary codes, covering about 95% of all industrial employees. Big businessmen dominated the writing and implementing of the documents. They generally aimed to suppress competition. Figuring prominently in this effort were minimum prices, open price schedules, standardization of products and services, and advance notice of intent to change prices. Having gained the government's commitment to stilling competition, the tycoons looked forward to profitable repose.

But the initial enthusiasm evaporated when the NRA did not deliver, and for obvious reasons. Even its corporate boosters began to object to the regimentation it required. By the time the Supreme Court invalidated the whole undertaking in early 1935, most of its former supporters had lost their taste for it.

Striking down the NRA, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote that "extraordinary conditions do not create or enlarge constitutional power." Congress "cannot delegate legislative power to the President to exercise an unfettered discretion to make whatever laws he thinks may be needed."

Odd that the flaming leftist is screeching about entitlements when it was leftists who enacted those programs.

You miss the point more often then a retard. My complaint isn't about entitlements, which are in fact the hallmark of a modern society. My point, which you clearly didn't get, or perhaps are deliberately avoiding, is that you cast all this derision upon the "Welfare State", when in fact, you guys would scream the loudest if your goodies were taken away.

Predictable, however, that screeching leftist is whining about those evil, white, middle class people who worked and contributed to the programs they supported during their working years.

Not at all.. the point is, that we wouldn't have a middle class if we DIDN'T have those programs. Families would be bankrupted taking care of old and sick loved ones. People would be driven back in their career progression every time there was a recession, and they ended up having to take lower-paying jobs because they couldn't get unemployment.

Case in point- look at all the Republicans screaming to cut unemployment insurance because a lot of people in lower paid industries are refusing to go back to their "essential" jobs when they can make ends meet on a weekly unemployment check.

Honestly, cupcake, it's obvious you're self-hating enough to whine about the devil white reaping the rewards of a lifetime of work but you're too selfish to give your money to those poor, oppressed folks the leftists hate almost as much as they hate themselves.

I don't have to give them MY money, we need to make sure the one percent pays their fair share to support these programs and pay the hired help a fair wage.

Not to worry, as long as the One Percent can get people like you to cling to your guns and your bibles, they can keep taking you for a ride.

You really are struggling with some pretty simple concepts. While you despise the evil white middle class, it is that group which propelled this nation forward out of the world wars. During the Depression of the '30s, the middle class found itself in a train wreck of a stalled economy. They survived a decade of deprivation, hardships and then WW2. In the years that followed they built the America that was to become legend. The rabid laftist narrative turns the success of the middle class into something to be despised while the rabid leftists exploit the benefits of what they didn't build or create.

It's really a bit creepy as you seem to be little more than a mouthpiece for AOC and the dysfunctional squad. "Tax the rich'', ''Green New Deal'', a socialist paradise of Venezuela or Cuba and all will be right with the world, especially if you can get rid of whitey which will make all your problems disappear .

I think your history is a bit confused. There wasn't a "middle class" before the New Deal. As much as we talk about the roaring 20's, the vast majority of people lived in abject poverty even before the recession hit. 60% of the population lived below the poverty line.

Poverty - Economic problems in the 1920s - CCEA - GCSE History Revision - CCEA - BBC Bitesize

Weaknesses in the American economy became more apparent as the 1920s progressed (CCEA).

www.bbc.co.uk

It was FDR who established a middle class through entitlements, supporting a minimum wage, supporting unions, etc.

Now, yes, White people benefited more, because they always do in our society. One of the main drivers of the Civil Rights movement was that black people saw white people moving out of the tenements of the cities and poor hovels of the South and they were still stuck there. The Civil Rights movement was just as much about economics as it was about social standing.

Final point, because I do believe in putting all the cards on the table. The sensible policies of elevating the middle class and the new deal did create the middle class, but so did the fact the US came out of WWII relatively unscathed compared to everyone else. That gave us a huge advantage economically.

But so did the fact that FDR and HST spent 20 years building the Middle Class, to the point that when Ike ran in 1952 and 1956, THIS was the Republican platform.

Hardly. If you want to argue with AOC, go argue with her.

The point is, we only had a middle class because during FDR's term, the top marginal rate went up to 93%. When JFK promoted tax reform to reduce the top marginal rate to 70%, it was REPUBLICANS who called him fiscally irresponsible.

yeah, the fact that we've been punishing Cuba and Venezuela for picking forms of government we don't like is proof socialism doesn't work. Forget they were shitholes before the commies got there, or we've economically sanctioned them ever since. Socialism Bad. Except when white people get it.

No, no, a conspiracy is something done in secret. Trump lost by 3 million votes in 2016. The people said "NO". He lost by 7 million votes in 2020. The people said "NO" even louder.

The ''Roaring 20's'' was called that for a reason. Can you guess what that reason is?

The Economy in the 1920s and What Caused the Great Depression​

The 1920s had hidden weaknesses that caused the Great Depression. One reason? The U.S. economy shifted from a traditional to a free-market system.

www.thebalance.com
The 1920s is the decade when America's economy grew 42%. Mass production spread new consumer goods into every household. The modern auto and airline industries were born. The U.S. victory in World War I gave the country its first experience of being a global power. Soldiers returning home from Europe brought with them a new perspective, energy, and skills. Everyone became an investor thanks to easy access to credit. That hidden weakness helped cause the Great Depression.

Economic Growth and Output​

The economy grew 42% during the 1920s, and the United States produced almost half the world's output because World War I destroyed most of Europe. New construction almost doubled, from $6.7 billion to $10.1 billion. Aside from the economic recession of 1920-21, when by some estimates unemployment rose to 11.7%, for the most part, unemployment in the 1920s never rose above the natural rate of around 4%.1


Per-capita GDP rose from $6,460 to $8,016 per person, but this prosperity was not distributed evenly. In 1922, the top 1% of the population received 13.4% of total income. By 1929, it earned 14.5%.

Your ''I hate whitey" attitudes are pretty typical of the modern left. You combine child-like naïveté and paranoid aggression in the tirades you dump into threads. Those damaging pairings are a wonder to behold. The child-like naïveté protects the self-hating leftist from from facts while the paranoid aggression protects the delicate leftist sensibilities from any actual accounting of their failings.

Wishful thinking? Since you seem to be obsessed about cars being "proof" that the 20's were somehow an ideal time, let's look at that. The Model T cost $300.00 by the 1920's. In today's dollars, that would be about $4075.00. You couldn't buy even the cheapest new car for that amount today. Yet despite that, 75% of families in the supposedly Roaring 20's couldn't afford them.

Compare that to today, where 91% of households have at least one car. And that's after the GOP wrecked the middle class with the last five recessions.

Despite all the economic gains after WWI, most Americans still lived in poverty.

And today the top 1% has 49% of the wealth. What is wrong with this picture?

Ironically, they figured out the way to destroy the middle class was to get stupid white people to vote against their own economic interests by playing on their sexual, racial and religious fears.

Riddle me this, Che Guevara wannabe. Why is it that your nonsense comment about Republican presidents and recessions is a broadly sweeping, false claim?

Fact check: Do Republican presidents oversee recessions and Dems oversee recoveries?

Have only GOP leaders since Reagan had recessions? Not quite. Democratic presidents oversee recoveries, but Obama still had to tackle recession.

Democrats do not oversee recoveries....the democrats destroy the economy, the republicans have to fix the economy, and just as the economy is recovering, the democrats are in office again to wreck the recovery.....

 

[JoeB131]

You seem to be obsessed with making nonsensical claims and then going your best Michael Jackson moonwalk in retreat. It was predictable that your claims about the Roaring 20's were nonsense as that period in time included spectacular economic growth.

Actually, it included nothing of the sort, as 60% of the population lived below the poverty line.

Compare that to today, where for all our problems, only 14% live below the poverty line.

As with the leftist narrative, we understand that GDP per capita was not ''equitable'', therefore, proof the evil white persin must be 'racist'. This is the retreat to ignorance and racism defines the left. Their leftist, Venezuela or Cuba style dystopias are the model for 'equity', wher everyone is similarly abused and throttled.

Let's try to focus on this country and not your fear of Cuba, okay?

I mean, if you really want to talk about Cuba, we can talk about our 60 years of exploiting the country before they finally threw us out..

Predictably, the left has decided that the way to crush the middle class is to scream 'equity'. They will use the power of government to crush white farmers byecluding them from programs reserved for 'people of color'.

Uh, you do realize that white farmers are already massively subsidized by the government, right? Frankly, for someone who hate socialism so much, you can't find a better example of it than American Agricultural policy.

Well, it isn't, but I'm glad you passed up on it. Let's review, shall we. Every recession we got out of we did so because of either massive spending or a Democrat imposing stronger policies with more equity.

2020- Trump
2008 - Bush - Obama had to fix it.
2001 - Bush- The war fixed it. Barely. There's a reason why they call that decade the "Oughts".
1990- Bush-1 - Clinton fixed it.
1982 - Reagan - Massive military spending fixed it.
1980- Carter - Really didn't get fixed.
1975- Ford - Carter had to fix it, but we had massive inflation
1969 - Nixon- Fixed it through price controls and massive government intervention
1960- Ike - JFK had to fix it.
1953, 58 - Ike. largely alleviated through massive infrastructure spending

The Roaring Economy of the 1920s​

The 1920s have been called the Roaring '20s and for good reason. Not only was American culture 'roaring' in terms of style and social trends, but the economy was 'roaring' as well. The decade was a time of tremendous prosperity. Following the end of World War I, the industrial might of the United States was unleashed for domestic, peaceful purposes. Within a few short years, an economic shift took place as the economy transitioned from wartime production to peacetime production. New technologies like the automobile, household appliances, and other mass-produced products led to a vibrant consumer culture, stimulating economic growth. Furthermore, under the administration of three consecutive Republican presidents, the government adopted fiscally conservative policies that fueled private business.


Interesting that, as noted above: "Furthermore, under the administration of three consecutive Republican presidents, the government adopted fiscally conservative policies that fueled private business.

Gee, whiz. For all the whining about those evil republicans (you know, those evil white republicans), there was a decade of solid US growth and prosperity.

If you want to talk about your obsession with communist / socialist paradises, Cuba is among those models that leftisrs admire. Castro was a murderous thug who reduced the entire country (except for his cronies) to poverty, imprisoned, tortured, and killed anyone who dared oppose his regime. Sounds like a leftist paradise. "Equity'', as everyone is equitably oppressed by the leftist regime.

Uh, did you realize that farming subsidies are not procured by race based criteria? That would change under the raced based Biden policy, 'Equity' means that subsidies would be dolled out to blacks while excluding white farmers. That would otherwise be defined as race-based policy which us a violation of law. How strange. That us what the courts have determined.

Well, it's not surprising that you falsely represented that "Every recession we got out of we did so because of either massive spending or a Democrat imposing stronger policies with more equity''.

You offered nothing but a rote list of unverified comments. Odd that it was President Trump who managed to steer the economy into unprecedented growth and income gains for all Americans. The stock market under Trump was particularly a boon for the evil white investors. I understand your day will be ruined by the evil white middle class being bolstered by a strong economy / stock market but you can find solace in the Biden inflation numbers. That will effectively rol, back the gains made by the devil white and Biden's open border policies will kill the wage gains made by Americans.

Basically, you can feel good about yourself because leftist democrat policies will negatively affect you.

President Trump often highlights the rising value of US financial markets as a measure of success - in particular the Dow Jones Industrial Average

The democrats created the housing crash that hit when Bush was in office....clinton attacked the banks with the Dept. of Justice and forced them to take bad loans

Bush 1 had the Reagan boom.......and a slight recession, and then clinton wrecked the Reagan boom with his tax increases and bad policies..it took him 8 years to finish off the Reagan boom and just before he left office the economy tanked...he almost made it but didn't get out in time to blame it on Bush 2.

You idiots wreck the economy, just when the republicans fix the economy, you guys get back into office, take the credit, wreck the economy, then blame the wrecked economy on the next republican...you really are shitheads.

Clinton is often given praise and credit for the economic boom that happened near the end of his last term, but those who do so ignore the fact that that only took place after Republicans, for the first time in forty years, came to control both houses of Congress, and President Clinton, desperate to remain relevant, rolled over and went along with the policies put forth by the Republican-controlled Congress that were diametrically opposed to those which Clinton has previously promoted.

No, they really don't. Again, 60% of Americans lived below the poverty line. I'm sure that people who thought " A chicken in every pot" was a good slogan, but it kind of showed how miserable the times were.

Uh, did you realize that farming subsidies are not procured by race based criteria?

That would otherwise be defined as race-based policy which us a violation of law. How strange. That us what the courts have determined.

Not seeing a problem here. We've had 400 years of the system favoring white farmers. It's kind of like the argument about welfare... you guys are fine with welfare when YOU get it. You just call it an entitlement.

Castro was a murderous thug who reduced the entire country (except for his cronies) to poverty, imprisoned, tortured, and killed anyone who dared oppose his regime. Sounds like a leftist paradise. "Equity'', as everyone is equitably oppressed by the leftist regime.

Okay, let's look at Cuba. Let's look at what JFK said about Cuba after the revolution.

I believe that there is no country in the world, including the African regions, including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's policies during the Batista regime. I believe that we created, built and manufactured the Castro movement out of whole cloth and without realizing it. I believe that the accumulation of these mistakes has jeopardized all of Latin America. The great aim of the Alliance for Progress is to reverse this unfortunate policy. This is one of the most, if not the most, important problems in America foreign policy. I can assure you that I have understood the Cubans. I approved the proclamation which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will go even further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries.

— U.S. President John F. Kennedy, interview with Jean Daniel, 24 October 1963[108]

Let's look at Cuba before the revolution. 75% of the arable land was owned by foreign interests. American Mafia families were able to set up casinos, prostitution and other criminal enterprises with impunity. In short, there was a reason why those people revolted.

And instead of actually heeding what JFK said, realizing our sins, the US policy for the last 60 years has been treating Cuba like a stalker treats his ex-girlfriend.

You offered nothing but a rote list of unverified comments. Odd that it was President Trump who managed to steer the economy into unprecedented growth and income gains for all Americans. The stock market under Trump was particularly a boon for the evil white investors.

really, let's look at what Trump steered the economy into.

600,000 dead.
65,000,000 jobs lost
200,000 businesses bankrupted
Riots in the streets.

No, the middle class did not do well under Trump. Trump is the first president since Hoover to post a net job loss.

You seem to think that if the Parasites on Wall Street are doing well, that means the rest of us are. It really doesn't work that way.

Really? What did the Republican pose that really changed the trajectory of the economy?

Nothing. Sorry, most of the Contract on America didn't do much of anything, most of it in fact never became law. Newt forced a couple of shutdowns, but eventually he blinked.

What got the economy back moving again was Clinton's stimulus program - please note, we have never gotten out of a recession without an influx of government spending. Also a big help was his tax reform that finally got the rich to pay their fair share.

And even then, the economy went into a recession right at the end, just before he left office....and you know he had hoped to be out of office a minute before that happened so they could simply blame Bush...

Sorry, Dick Tiny, the recession didn't start until Q2 of 2001, when Bush was in office. Now, what should have been a mild recession was complicated by 9/11. But the primary cause of the recession of 2001 was overproduction. Warehouses were full of manufactured goods that weren't moving.
