Of course, he was predicting the future just as surely as we can predict the future standing here today. It is eery just how similar our situations are and how similar the two opposing viewpoints sound. So you have to ask yourself one question:

Do you think the nation and world has made progress in the overall conditions of humanity since then or do you want to return to the days before this great man and others made so many important decisions? The lesson continues that one side wants the goodies and will pay for them. The other side wants the goodies but never, ever wants to pay for them. You decide which side you want to be on.

So you have to ask yourself one question:

The one question would be :

If FDR was so great why do we still have recessions and Depression 1945, 1948 1953 1957, 1960 1970, 1980-81, 1990, 2000 and 2009- 2012 plus?

Only one depression since then, its now. As for the recessions, they were small and we managed our way out of them using Keynesian theory up until the late 70s. After that, it was all the Fed and loose credit that kept us going. None of that had anything to do with FDR. Ordinarily, I would make some snide remark about your inability to reason correctly proving once again that your faculties are not yet fully developed. But today I am issuing a reprieve because Degs is such a wonderful example of how to deal with passionate yet ignorant posters that it has made me reflect upon my boorish behavior. So I will refrain.
