There’s a reason why Bernie keeps mentioning FDR. He realizes that for millions of people today the situation is as dire as what many people were experiencing then. We need a massive infusion of economic opportunity into the life of the average American - and we need it fast.

A freedom dividend would be a great infusion of economic opportunity for the average American... @AndrewYang #YangGang

Boomers might’ve seen the 2008 recession as an unfortunate hiccup in their path to retirement but Millenials and GenX essentially entered a full blown depression immediately upon leaving college/grad school and they quite simply cannot recover under the status quo.

You’re doing a fine job Marianne! I like Bernie’s new style a lot better. He isn’t going to war with anyone any more. He is now advocating for the working people. I see your fingers there...

To compare today's economic climate to the Great Depression is just nuts.

FDR excluded ADOS Blacks from the new deal, social security, and the GI Bill. This is no longer a political talking point anyone should use at least regarding the economics of the Black Community. You should read "When Affirmative Action was White" by Ira Katznelson

FDR was racist. Is that really the look he's aiming for?

FDR prolonged the great depression with his New Deal and high taxes. That's why he needed a 2nd new deal 6 years later because the first didn't work. Then year later they wanted 3rd new deal. Instead the govt cut taxes and spending the economy finally took off.

I agree! Let's not fall for labeling instead of understanding. Communism IS NOT Socialism & Socialism IS NOT Social Democracy. The Social Security program was labeled "Communist" when first proposed during the 1930s Depression. Act on economic facts, not on fear mongering.
