Most people don’t understand this comment because they are too dumb to look at history. FDR created government jobs to give people employment. It was needed at the time because of the depression but between doing that and the biggest profit machine ever, WWII, we pulled out of the depression. LBJ and his great society were social experiments. Don’t get me started on social security.

The common theme in each of these presidents policy was government funded support for the poor. There is a healthy balance but both of these went to the extreme and had no end game in sight.

The fall started with Hoover.

We haven't had a decent, not good, just decent president since Coolidge. Coolidge would be run off as a crackpot today by the Democrats and the Republicans alike. Coolidge has got to be at the top outside of the founders.

Anyone in history can destroyed under a biased microscope. The absurd Showtime four part hit piece on the Reagans is a comical example.

LBJ gets a ton of blame here and it is deserved but almost everyone gives JFK a pass when he deserves just as much blame. He laid the ground that allowed LBJ to pull off the bullshite he did.
