The World FDR Inherited Thread

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Everything got better under FDR.

yes dear they called it the Great Depression by mistake!!

 

[gipper]

So the president who took office in the year that was followed by everything getting better is accused of prolonging the depression?

lol

yes dear FDR administration was the Great Depression. He did not end when he took office, it ended when he left office. See why we say the liberal will be stupid?

Everything got better under FDR.

Everything got worse under FDR.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Everything got worse under FDR.

yes I'd say WW2 is a good example. 60 million dead!!

 

[regent]

So why did the people elect FDR the second time, and then a third time, and then a fourth time? People were all communists, right?
So why have America's best historians rated FDR as America's greatest president?
Historians were all communists, right?

Do you understand?

If you have to go back 100,000 years to come up with a post, you have bigger problems than most think.
We are talking about an American president and American historians, not Castro nor his boats nor Nazi concentration camps. FDR is still rated by America's noted historians as number one, top of the line, biggest man on campus,

well then too bad obama didn't keep recession going for 17 years and have a 6 year world war in which 70 million were killed.

Lies, lies, fear.

 

[Votto]

and he helped to fix. America, because of FDR became the greatest nation of the 20th century

FDR was soooo great that they limited the number of terms a President can be elected after his gig was up.

It should not be surprising that the man who detested the Constitution by locking up innocent Japanese Americans and then proceeded to subvert the Constitution further via the Court Packing Scheme to try and push his policies through is the hero for Progressives.

I'm convinced that liberals believe that the ends justify the means. For example, they would throw all conservatives in a concentration camp if it meant winning a war or passing a piece of legislation they are coveting.

The Court saw the light and as they said at the time, "a stich in time saved nine."
Perhaps the best answer for Republicans is to pass another amendment not allowing historians to rate presidents?

Another favorite cognitively dissonant 'criticism' the FDR haters on the right rant about is how his Keynesian spending policies failed, and 'WW II ended the Depression'. The only way this idiocy can be true is by admitting that FDR's policies failed because he didn't spend nearly enough relative to the depth of the Depression wide open laissez faire caused. In fact the latter is indeed the right and obvious answer.

In spite of their rants, the Right has failed to do away with Social Security. Thanks, FDR.

Social Security, along with Medicare and Medicaid, will fail on their own.

I suppose it is news to you that these WELFARE programs are unsustainable. You may be under the illusion they are insurance programs, when any fool can see they are just another government transfer of wealth program.

SS is one big clearly exposed Ponzi scheme...and Ponzi schemes always fail.

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. This is just a fraudulent talking point that has long been overused. The main reason it is not a Ponzi scheme is that Ponzi schemes eventually run out of money to keep the scheme going. Social Security will never run out of money because the voters who collect the benefits from Social Security will always make up the largest block of voters that pick the elected officials and issues of priority concern to those voters and hence, elected officials. It is far to easy to keep Social Security solvent and sustainable for it to ever run out of money.

Social Security's problems center around its revenues having been dumped into the General Fund, and the crushing of wage levels in the U.S. drastically lowering the revenues from the payroll tax in inflation adjusted dollars over the years. Even at the 6 or 7% current rates employees are paying less in inflation adjusted dollars into the system than older workers have, despite all the lying and whining to the contrary.

That never happened.

I will never understand why these fellows are bereft of any knowledge that a GOP president was at the helm when the Great Depression began and was in charge for 3 years before FDR....

One of the lies PC depends on is that she uses a source that compares FDR's later UE numbers to 1931,

claiming it shows things didn't get better after he took office...'31 being of course 2 years BEFORE he became president.

FDR was sworn into office first term in March, 1933; check a graph of the GDP and check out when the economy started climbing again. The confidence level was tremendous. The rich were still hoarding their wealth and hiding out behind private armies on their estates, having done absolutely nothing to build the economy back up under Hoover, unless you count gambling on short selling stocks and sniveling about taxes.
