Fair enough.

I don’t hold FDR on a pedestal. What he did do was far-and-away better than what the Republicans under Hoover were doing (and Hoover tried to undermine when FDR was elected): Let ‘em eat Dust Bowl.

Hoover pretty much set the Republican Party’s “profits over people” positions they still have today. Utterly opposed to anything resembling “bank bailouts,” anything resembling social services or welfare for the masses, &c.
