FDR didn’t just rescue people; he brought structural change to the system so people wouldn’t fall back into the same economic pits. It’s going to take more than his painting over the mantlepiece to make the comparison real.

In his first 100 days FDR worked with Congress to pass 15 major pieces of legislation to counter the effects of the Great Depression. The Biden administration is struggling to pass 1.

Marianne, I never cease to be amazed by your lack of true understanding of the issues - and your incredible desire to be relevant.

FDR was also a big fan of fascism and sent representatives to Italy to study Mussolini's implementation of it so he could bring it here. He backpedaled, spun, and covered like a madman, when Italy joined with Germany, realizing the PR nightmare if the general public found out.

Will you contemplate running for Mayor of LA?

Huey Long also offered pressure to FDR’s left that he was terrified of. The left’s reps really need to show leadership.
