People blame Roosevelt for the budget deficit - but I believe if you look, it wasn't Roosevelt, it was Johnson who started Welfare.

He closed banks to stop the run on them until things settled down. What would have happened if he wouldn't have done that?

Hoover just sat on his hands and did nothing.

Roosevelt should be credited for bettering the lives of millions of people. He started the TVA - maybe since then it has become a money pit, but back in the 30s, it was a blessing.

Hindsight is 20/20, but this man helped this country, if only with this fireside chats, giving people hope.
