Funny my history is what you are taught in School as well. That WWII and the spending and economic activity it created got us out of the Depression.

This chart of GDP shows what he did.
Now place it next to the unemployment chart and realise your history rewrites will fail with anyone with a brain.

I still shake my head when supposed "free marketers" believe that taxing people to make bombs, planes, tanks, and guns is good for the economy...
we are still paying off FDR's debt

Thats exactly what taxes are supposed to be used for in my opinion.... not all this entitlement idiocy.
we are still paying off FDR's debt
And as long as those programs stay in place, we always will be in debt.
Its like never paying off a credit card and the limit is raised every year.
Liesmatter said:The facts are unemployment went down under FDR and the nations LOVED him.
They hate science, history and higher education so they can defend their failed ideas
So you are going to pretend the decreases in unemployment before the war mean nothing huh?
I do think FDR made a mistake in not letting Patton take Berlin. Patton could have taken all of Berlin. FDR said let Joe take. He did and he kept it. But everyone makes mistakes. I think FDR biggest mistake was not seeing the communist as a threat but just an ally.He was determined to support Britain early in the war when US public opnion was overwhelimingly against it. He did it simply because it was the right thing to do.
Lease lend didnt shoot down planes but it helped us in our hour of need, for that I think he was a great man.
Was handing Eastern Europe over to the Soviets also the "Right thing to do"?
Did he have a choice?
Japan was still fighting and the atom bomb was as yet untested. On top of that the Red Army was a massive, awesome fighting machine.
A pragmatic decision. Truman probably could have done more for eastern Europe when he became president, i dont think FDR could have.

Roosevelt and Stalin had a lot in common.
The problem, which had to be overcome during the Great Depression, was the lost of confidence and hope. FDR recognized this and it became the foundation for most of his legislation. After the crash of 29, the stock market slide of 31, and the bank failures, Americans had loss confidence in the financial system and the government. Republicans believed that the government should have embarked on a course of stimulus for business and tax cuts instead of the massive employment projects of the New Deal. But even with massive business stimulus, business would not have expanded without the fundamental FDR changes to restore confidence in the financial system.FDR supposedly is a Great President for "Getting us out of the Great Depression."
Here's the data set.
I see no greatness. I see 8 consecutive years of failure.
FDR US Unemployment 1932: 24.1%, 1933: 24.9, 1934: 21.7%, 1935: 20.1%, 1936: 16.9%, 1937: 14.3%, 1938: 19.0%, 1939: 17.2%. 8 year Average = 19.8%
What's so great about averaging 20% unemployment for 8 consecutive years?
FDR did finally get us out of the Depression, But not the way Libs want you to think. All his social Spending did nothing to get us out, In fact many think they made it last longer. It was when he began spending Billions of Government dollars on private industry products to fight WWII that we got out of the Depression.
Moral, If you are going to Spend Government Money to cause recovery, Spend it in the private sector, Not on More Government programs, and Temporary Construction jobs.

What would that be?
FDR is considered a great president, not because of his policies but because of his leadership. He led the country through the greatest depression and military threat the country has ever faced. After the war ended we were the greatest military, industry, and financial power on earth. I think the president that led us through this deserves a lot a credit.FDR supposedly is a Great President for "Getting us out of the Great Depression."

So, by your metric Little Big Horn made Custer a great Leader.
Also, Germany never attacked us! And the first battle of WWII was fought in Africa! Against the French! So maybe Dubya learned from FDR
At least you had the balls to show up here, thanks. The rest of the Liberal Intellectual Elite is once again, MIA

Frank, you are truly one stupid ass. Germany declared war on the US on 11Dec41. Roosevelt replied immediatly;
German-American Relations - U.S. Declaration of War against Germany
U.S. Declaration of War Against Germany
War Message of the President (Roosevelt) to the Congress, Dec. 11, 1941
"To the Congress of the United States:
On the morning of December 11 the Government of Germany, pursuing its course of world
conquest, declared war against the United States.
The long known and the long expected has thus taken place. The forces endeavoring to enslave the entire world now are moving toward this hemisphere.
Never before has there been a greater challenge to life, liberty, and civilization.
Delay invites greater danger. Rapid and united effort by all the peoples of the world who are
determined to remain free will insure a world victory of the forces of justice and of righteousness over the forces of savagery and of barbarism.
Italy also has declared war against the United States.
I therefore request the Congress to recognize a state of war between the United States and
Germany and between the United States and Italy.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
THE WHITE HOUSE, "December 11, 1941."
So you are going to pretend the decreases in unemployment before the war mean nothing huh?
He already was...His name was Herbert Hoover.Had FDR been a Republican . . .
FDR US Unemployment 1932: 24.1%, 1933: 24.9, 1934: 21.7%, 1935: 20.1%, 1936: 16.9%, 1937: 14.3%, 1938: 19.0%, 1939: 17.2%. 8 year Average = 19.8%
Which of the 8 above years marked the end of the Great Depression
He's the #1 President yet no one has been able to show how he got us out of the Depression.
I'm still waiting.
