1. Older Americans universally believe
FDR was responsible for saving the country from the Great Depression. I am of an age to know this. When I went to work in a factory as a young man the work force was largely made up of WWII veterans. I never heard a derisive word about FDR. If that is not enough, he also guided the country through the difficult World War II years. I have never in my life heard an older American disparage FDR. These crazy claims by the Reich Wing are an act of desperation. Their image has taken a near mortal blow. They are trying to absolve both Hoover and Bush for any responsibility in their respective depressions.
