  1. If it wasn't for FDR, his wife, and his administration the US would be some sort of dictatorship under the guise of fascist or so called communist regimes. The very robber barons that have, over the past 40 years, come back with a vengeance only to put us on the same ruinous path of economic inequality under a repressive robber baron elite; resentment is on high in all nations, a recent failed coupe in Germany, the insanity of the UK regarding Brexit, Brazil's foolish recent president, the turmoil of Spain, Italy, and with the recent 3 year so far yellow jacket movement of France, and culmination of a right wing losing their cultivated nut jobs in the presidency that was more a cartoon come to life, than life could make of it into a cartoon and a lunatic fringe incitement in the capitol in DC. Lessons from FDR's administration and policies were not learned. They were rejected by the robber baron class to whom many hired thug and lunatic fringe propounded themes of conspiracy, ignorance, scapegoating, and mysticism; and now the world is doomed to repeat the same persistent failed robber baron social-economic systems. FDR's administration was among the best we had, he literally won 4 elections. Generally, most, even George Washington's approval ratings become terrible nearing the end of their second term. FDR administration finally gave substance to the multitudes of the people: social security (pension at elder age), jobs programs, bank deposit insurance, unemployment schemes, and laying the foundation for medicare/medicaid that would take another 20 years after JFK not until LBJ would we have an actual medicare/medicaid medical care for the elderly and severely disabled. The nation has instead stagnated, and then even reversed; housing and many other economic necessities given to a robber baron class to which to engage their parasitical suction cups direct deposit to their bank accounts. Turning their taxes into loans to be repaid with interest. The robber baron propaganda, have cultivated a delusional lunatic and ignorant populous that they, the robber barons and eager to become one too toadies, have lost control over; feed people crazy and dumb you get them to do crazy and dumb: all to stomp out any lessons learned in the 1940's under the FDR's administration. Their contempt for all things save their fortune has lead us to a terrible repeat; this time with technology that can literally annihilate all of humanity, and most species on the face of the earth. He was a good president and is administration was good. But we did not learn that it was indeed good, and why it was so good.
