And what I am saying is that however you try to explain it away the fact remains that under FDR the economy grew at an astonishing rate, over 8% a year. Come on Spud, you know that if FDR had been a Republican right now you would be screaming about his huge success as loud as you could, but he was a Democrat, he was not a member of your tribe so everything he did must be either stupid or evil or both. > *If the New Deal was such a success,* > Who said anything about the new deal.? And what about the economic success during the Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton and Carter administrations? And what about the dismal economic performance during both Bush presidents and the even worst performance during Trump's administration? At least Truman had an excuse, he had to make the huge transition from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy. > > *if FDR looked back and had his life to live over again, would he have > started a war against Adolf, defeat the nazis, and laid barriers against > Stalin in Eastern Europe, and blunted, or tried to bring in from the cold > that Japanese?
