Europe and Asia would not be the same without him

Yeah, millions and millions of people might not have suffered under the yolk of communism.

“On February 19, 1942 — seventy-four years ago today — Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. With the stroke of his pen, the man who had earlier snubbed Jesse Owens after the Berlin Olympics used his executive powers to order the imprisonment of over 100,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (as well as thousands of German and Italian ancestry) for the duration of World War II.”

People will put certain people on pedestals when they really shouldn't.

George Washington went around killing Native Americans in a ruthless manner.

Ronald Reagan allowed the Japanese to buy up a lot of America, did the Iran-Contra affair along with a load of other stuff that gets ignored.

Presidents can't keep everyone happy, but if they try to keep a few happy, they'll annoy everyone else, so they try and keep as many happy as possible, meaning they'll annoy everyone at the same time. They just have to hope that these people will forget, and they do.

Dufus has no clue to the Indians allying with the Brits to murder Americans.

Sad byproduct of public schools.

FDR is easily acknowledged as our greatest president at home and around the world. He saved our nation and saved England, France, Netherlands, as well as Italy, Germany and Japan

As he lengthened the Great Depression for at least seven years.

 

[Markle]

We elected him four times.

Europe and Asia would not be the same without him

After which the Twenty-Second Amendment, limiting the President to two terms, was passed in near record time.

As for Europe and Asia, we don't know what to be true. What we know for certain is that the World would not have been the same without Winston Churchill as Prime Minister of England.

If FDR took too long to end the Great Depression, why didn't Hoover end it? Hoover had almost four years, and Hoover's plan was to loan money to manufacturers to make more of the same product that was already stacked on the shelves as unsalable. It was unsalable because people didn't have money to buy. FDR believed people had to have money to survive and to buy to end the depression. The old Republican cry of "Balance the Budget" was as useless as they were. But the Great Depression was a bonanza for the wealthy, if we think of the buying power of just one dollar during that period.

The scumbag fdr did not “end the Depression,” the end of WWII did .

So if one thinks of how WWII ended the depression they realize that the New Deal simply did not spend enough during the depression.

Illogical, again.

I made it as simple as I could. Think about a bit and it
might make sense.

It’s not complicated, it’s illogical.

What did FDR accomplish in his first two terms? Soup lines and Okie bodies in ditches along Rt.66? FDR's foreign policy was a joke and Hitler was virtually ignored. Hollywood did pretty well and the only thing the FDR administration worried about was the next election while the media acted as the administration's propaganda arm. Members of the media knew he was dying in his 3rd term and wouldn't live through his 4th term if elected but they kept it hidden from the people.

FDR's plans were destructive. The 1920/21 Depression ended with nothing having been done. Had nothing been done, as you'll see here, the Great Depression would have ended seven years earlier.

As you know too, UCLA is well known for being a far right institution.

FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate
By Meg SullivanAugust 10, 2004

Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long years.

"Why the Great Depression lasted so long has always been a great mystery, and because we never really knew the reason, we have always worried whether we would have another 10- to 15-year economic slump," said Ohanian, vice chair of UCLA's Department of Economics. "We found that a relapse isn't likely unless lawmakers gum up a recovery with ill-conceived stimulus policies."

[…]

As union membership doubled, so did labor's bargaining power, rising from 14 million strike days in 1936 to about 28 million in 1937. By 1939 wages in protected industries remained 24 percent to 33 percent above where they should have been, based on 1929 figures, Cole and Ohanian calculate.

Unemployment persisted. By 1939 the U.S. unemployment rate was 17.2 percent, down somewhat from its 1933 peak of 24.9 percent but still remarkably high. By comparison, in May 2003, the unemployment rate of 6.1 percent was the highest in nine years.

Recovery came only after the Department of Justice dramatically stepped up enforcement of antitrust cases nearly four-fold and organized labor suffered a string of setbacks, the economists found.

"The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes," Cole said. "Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened."

FDR and Abe shit all over our Constitution and Americans from all sides worship them. Blows my goddamn mind.

same as warmongers Ike and Reagan.they also shit all over the constitution and same as FDR and Lincoln,Americans from all sides love those two as well.Beam me up scotty,theres no intelligent life forms on this planet.

FDR was a disaster. His stupid economic policies prolonged the Great Depression, causing terrible suffering for millions of Americans. He forced farmers to destroy their products, when Americans were starving...them lied us into war.

Its sick how these traiters to america like him and Eisenhower are put on a pedastal and put on our coins. how those two corrupt ever made it on our coins is just sick. Its a joke how the sheep in america think that FDR created jobs and got out of a depression,the asshole FUELED the depression.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Are some posters saying that both the American people and America's best historians have had it wrong about FDR. The people elected him four times in a row and might still be voting for him had he lived. Name another president elected four times. Historians have never placed FDR below third best president since 1948, and recently named FDR best American president.
Is it possible that Trump supporters are getting ready to replace FDR as America's best president with Trump?

You stupid moron.elections are rigged.FDR himself even came out and basically said so saying what happens in elections is not by accident,it is planned that way.FDR beneiffted from that oh and these alleged best historians are egghead mouthpieces for our corrupt government. the ones they rank highest are always the most corrupt and traiteous.

I know you're slow, but really...this slow?

Hoover was just as bad as your beloved FDR. There was little difference between them just as there is little difference between your Messiah and Dipshit W. The MSM of course claims FDR great and Hoover worthless. EXACTLY like they treat Big Ears and W.

Do you see a pattern yet?

Sadly nearly all our presidents from Wilson on, have been disasters.

So ninety years after the fact, two UCLA professors have decided they have the answer to the Great Depression. America and FDR should have waited until the UCLA book came out before feeding the hungry and trying to alleviate conditions. I wonder how if the UCLA economists have now come up with a plan to prevent depressions and recessions?

More logical fallacy, as usual.^^^^^^^
