FDR didn’t just pull us out of the Depression. He fundamentally altered economic/banking/political rules so it wouldn’t happen again. Several decades ago we started dismantling some of the very protections that FDR created, so crony capitalists could party more. And here we are.

WRONG! WWII pulled us out of the Depression. HIs plans made things worse. Read "The Forgotten Man".

Yaas!!! Is it not true that @Marcorubio and the ex-Cubans who hate socialism are also descendants of the corrupt crony capitalists who enabled Batista to exploit the Cuban poor? And now they are in the US pushing their non-sense about capitalism?

No. FDR's actions deepened and prolonged it. Read "Forgotten Man" by Amity Shlaes.

Yep and Sanders needs to take it to the convention the way FDR did. Sanders must continue the path and fight for it. FDR laid it out for him.

Details matter. FDR instituted numerous nation-altering changes. Some were fabulous advances. History has shown others to have been abject failures that prolonged the Great Depression. We need to LEARN from history rather than assigning either uncritical praise or condemnation.

Should we put Asian-Americans in internment camps, you know, like FDR did? I vote no.

FDR did not pull America out of the depression—his interventions are a big part of why it was the Great Depression. Depressions have been happening regularly since then, but they’ve been called “recessions”. Government intervention is what creates crony capitalism.
