"GNP went down for 4 straight years before FDR, then it went up every year but one while he was President."

All informed persons recognise the recovery from the great depression.

Yet there remains a controversy. The controversy is not about whether or not we recovered, so your 'facts' are not under dispute. The controversy stems from a suggestion by critics of FDR that the recovery was occurring anyway and that FDRs programs may have done more harm than good in the overall scheme of things. Personally, I don't look at things as you do. You see things as an either/or, good vs evil, forced choice. That doesn't adequately represent circumstance, which is complex and wholistically blended with benefits and messes. It's ok with me if chose to worship FDR, I prefer not to.
