      and yeah, the New Deal was NF, but it could have gone worse, as in we could have scrapped everything that makes America what it is and turn to socialism (see: Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Communist Russia)

      the new deal may not have been frat but it HELPED save our country. ww2 definitly put us over top and out of the depression for sure though.

      FDR is one of America’s greatest presidents. he saved our country from becoming communist and then processed to vanquish evil on 3 continents. TFM

      Because of the New Deal and the changes that were implemented, when WWII came around we were able to act quicker and faster in terms of production and mobility. Buildings don’t go up unless you have a foundation. The New Deal was the foundation and WWII served as the building on top. Both played equally important roles in getting the US out of the depression.

    FDR was a big government jackass. Arguably one of the biggest geeds in American history. His fiscal policy was almost as crippled as he was.

    Forgetting that men died to win our freedom. NF. Seriously, what at all is a TFM about this post?

      The tone of the statement is obviously cautionary. I guess they don’t teach you to recognized that at community college.

    Have some goddamn respect. This post was aimed at honoring and appreciating troops on Memorial day. I’m not a Democrat nor a huge FDR fan but this quote is meant to celebrate all the men fighting for us to have good lives here in this great country. Put politics aside for a second and celebrate the US Armed Forces that give us the right to have these political opinions and be able to enjoy our TFMs. No matter how NF the New Deal was, get a grip, Jesus. Sorry about the rant but it had to be said when not one positive comment is on this post.

      Thank you. i think FDR was a socialist who got lucky cause the New Deal didn’t help us out, only expand the role of government, but this is a great quote
