What about Bank Regulation, the SEC, Social Security, the WPA (which helped build a lot of the original infrastructure) AND provide badly needed jobs? Maybe you came from a "wealthy family" and Social Security meant nothing to them, but Social Security allowed my Grand Parents to have their own home and live an "independent" retirement. It allowed a LOT of people to live their old age in dignity rather than fear. Maybe it wasn't "thought out" perfectly when it was established, but it's the Fault of those that "followed" Roosevelt for the CURRENT problems with it, NOT Roosevelt.
