Starting where? Read who? Are there any unbiased authors on the subject? I remember the days of yore, but I was a child and a mere reflection of my grandparents with whom I lived. So direct me to an unbiased report of the times. Because I DO remember the America First movement that obstructed any attempts to rebuild the military, and even the Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford trips to Germany to support Hitler. So I know some of the opposition FDR faced of the times. I also remember some talk of people who hated FDR appreciating the CCC. Any work was appreciated, as I recall. So choosing any author that would coincide with my memories would not suit you anyway. That's why I ask your advice...if only to see where you are coming from, and under whose influence you recite history opposite what I vaguely remember.<<Oh FDR was a great war time POTUS but his handling of the GD merely extended it for years.>>Claudette, I have heard this for years. It has become a Republican Mantra lately. I would like to know how this conclusion of extending the depression was arrived at. Can you tell me how the Roosevelt attempts at recovery extended the dust bowl/depression disaster here in America?Oh FDR was a great war time POTUS but his handling of the GD merely extended it for years.
He was no saint and if he were running for POTUS today his affairs would have been front and center on the 24 hour a day news cycle.
Doubt either he or Kennedy would ever be elected as POTUS today.
Do a little research baby. Google is your friend.
I've already done the research once. Its all in Google.
FDR provided jobs only problem was they were jobs that were paid for with tax dollars.
Hell. He's was taxing some companies and 99% no wonder they couldn't provide any jobs in the private sector. Its all there. Look it up. I did.
Googling the Great Depression will get you over 62 million pages to choose from. Is there a particular page that will back up and explain your claims?Starting where? Read who?
