Nov 2013

Most of the corporate press were on a nonstop hate-fest against
FDR during the 30s, drumming up as much opposition to The New Deal as possible.

It did hold FDR back from spending as much as he needed to,
and getting as many programs started as he needed.

As we all know now, WWII finally opened the flood gates of gov't spending and,
bye bye Great Depression.
