FDRs solution to the unemployment problem was to simply enslave millions and kill off 400,000 of them.WOW! You Democrat apologists and slavery advocates sure do make a lot of off-the-wall excuses for the tyrant, FDR. Great Britain and Germany were at war. The US should have stayed neutral because Germany was not a threat to the USA. Plain and simple. Instead they started arming one side.World War ll had everything to do with National Security. Germany was demanding a cessation of trade between the US and Europe, particularly Great Britain. And it was more than just a demand. Before the war even began German submarines were attacking ships carrying US exports to Great Britain. Even US Naval shipps were attacked with great loss of US Naval personnel on the attacked Naval ships. US Navy sailors were being sent to the bottom of the ocean. All this in the middle of the Great Depression. I suppose that in your way of thinking a foreign power sinking US Navy ships was not a threat to National Security.Hilarious list. #1 gets hundreds of thousands of Americans killed and outlawed slavery. #3 not only reinstituted slavery, he enslaved American citizens and sent them overseas to use as cannon fodder in wars that has absolutely nothing to do with US national security. And got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed.
Whoever made that list must have some sort of virulent hatred of Americans.
In regards to the other side of the world, Japan was posing a threat to American interest and security in their part of the world. Not only did they pose these threats to American ports and military post, they posed a threat to the Russians on the Chinese Russian border and were preparing for an escalation of war which would cause the Russians to respond and hence, greatly weaken their ability to help defeat Germany.
Again, your analysis lacks common sense if you think the Japanese threat towards trade and more importantly, the threat to annihilate the US military installations at places like the Philipines was not a National Security threat is a great distortion. and fantasy.
Japan was steadily continuing to build their already huge Navel forces specifically for the purpose of conducting war with the US. Thankfully, FDR prepared for the wars with Germany and Japan by supporting development of the weapons of war that were needed to defeat those two superpowers.
One of the things FDR is not given proper credit for is his experience and knowledge gained as Assistan Secretary of the Nave during WW l. He learned how to develop new advanced weapons of war. This he did quietly and without fanfare so that when the war came, the industrial might of America was able to immediately shift into high gear to produce the weapons that would win the war. Everything from the M-I Garrand to modern aircraft carriers, bombers to fighter aircraft, etc., were tooled and being produced or prepared for production when they were needed.
"I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." ~ 10/30/1940 Quoted from FDR during his 1940 presidential campaign.
Of course if the American people knew what he was doing behind the scenes and what he was planning, to enslave them and send them to die overseas as cannon fodder by the hundreds of thousands he would have lost the election.
FDR was a fucking war pig.
FDR was the worst US president in history.
History revisionism at its finest.
The right hates FDR because he made liberal, progressive and even socialist teneted programs work in practical and logical ways. They hunt through his failures and mistakes and pounce on every criticism they can find. Of course, he was not perfect and made mistakes, but he had a shotgun attitude towards solving problems and was bound to make mistakes in that process. He tried programs and policies suggested from all sides of the political spectrum and if he found ones that worked he used them whether they were conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican. He was a true pragmatist, putting the success of theories and concepts the priority instead of politics. It meant little to FDR whether new roads and a dam to provide electric to an area would provide jobs and was supported by the business people wanting to build new factories in that area thanks to the new roads and electric generating dam. FDR was practical. Jobs were the priority and anyone who could come up with viable plans to created jobs was OK with FDR and the unemployed with jobs. Call it a liberal socialist program or a business conservative subsidy, it made no difference to him. All it meant was that new factories were being built and unemployed people were getting jobs as a depressed area was being revitalized
Who are the millions he enslaved and kill?
