The New Deal extended and deepened the depression. In fact, America was already pulling out of it and the markets had become bullish again when his massive social policies kicked in. He cleaned out the Supreme Court who declared his policies unconstitutional and put in his own hand-picked cronies. His was a presidency that shall live in infamy -- that is, if the citizens of this country ever wake up to reality. Read Friedman's Free to Choose for an excellent analysis of how the U. S. federalists caused the depression and how FDR and his evil policies exacerbated it.

What a refreshing attitude you have about FDR, Neocon. It is nice to see it in the midst of libertarian hate messages. It is quite radical at this time on this thread, or in America for the most part, to have any concern at all about poor or unemployed or hungry people, an attitude I find very scary. In fact, I think America is losing its very soul. For those of you whose idea of compassion towards solving world hunger goes beyond the sentiment "let them eat cake", this article today in the Sunday San Francisco Examiner/Chronicle might be interesting reading. It proposes the idea that to feed the people who are alive today, and who will be born in the future, it is not genetic engineering or increased use of pesticides that will feed everyone, but an ideology of making human rights, not profit, our first priority, and returning to family farming. Does everyone know that America, arguably the richest country on earth, has the highest rate of poor children of any developed nation, at twenty percent? Shame, shame! sfgate.com
