it was a step backwards, because it left the capitalists in charge... of everything. Yeah, it gave people more money, but they ended up paying that money to the capitalists. The New Deal was a giant taxpayer subsidy of business. It was the New Deal Herbert Hoover would have supported.
If FDR were a real progressive he would have instituted full fledged socialism! His party had over 80% of congress. Instead he took it off the table like the coward that he was and wouldn't let anyone consider it. His refusal to end capitalism in America made him a Rockefeller Republican.
And now Obama continued FDRs tradition of cowardice with the health care bill! WTH?
:rofl:
