FDR was, for all intents and purposes, a dictator. Millions protested against him in Washington, denouncing him and how he was trashing the Constitution. Just try to find those newsreels today... they have mysteriously disappeared. His New Deal programs smacked of socialism and he himself was a socialist of the worst kind -- a man of wealth who felt guilty over the wealth he did not create and thus tried to make it up with European socialistic ideas. LBJ, Carter, Clinton, none could hold a candle to FDR's socialism and his roughshod treatment of the Supreme Court and the way he railroaded -- against much protest -- his socialistic programs in. Later Keynes tried to gloss it over by his advocacy of a so-called "mixed economy." Galbraith was a strong promoter of this. Keynes disavowed his mixed-economy theories before his death -- theories that both the Democrats and Republican Administrations had accepted for years. Milton Friedman has shown, at length, the flaws in Keynes' original economic theories. The bottom line is: you don't try to use capitalism to support socialism. That is what every one of our Presidents has tried to do since at least as far back as Teddy Roosevelt.
