FDR dismantled the high republican tariffs passed in 1921, 1922 and 1930 and helped create GATT, the IMF and World Bank (each with multilateral representation and control) to make it difficult for those "republican" days to return. If FDR were alive today I think he would be anti-"indefinite detention, warrantless surveillance, attacks on Occupy, bank bailouts and settlements (at least he would regulate them much more strictly if he did bail them out), austerity budgets, drone wars, etc." as well as "pro-regulation, national health care, safety net, union and environment". I don't believe that he would be in favor high tariffs or unilateral US action on trade now any more than he was during the Great Depression.
