<p>I think that FDR is the most overrated president. I do not believe he "solved" the depression at all, in fact many arguments can be made that he extended it. Of course, from young age school teachers drill into your heads that FDR was hero....but have you ever questioned this? </p>
<p>The government should not interfere with an economy which they clearly do not understand. Morever, it is doubtful that they have a right to interfere. What got us out of the depression was WWII, not FDR.</p>
<p>The powerhungry FDR ran for an unprecidented 4 terms, even though he was clearly becomming unfit for the job towards the end. </p>
<p>And when the court continually termed his new deal programs unconstitutional.....court packing...um, hello? How would you feel if bush just added a couple justices so he could overturn Roe?</p>
<p>"FDR got this country out of the worst depression in its history without having to crack down on millions of protesters/riots and without turning towards marxism (although he did turn towards socialism to solve several problems)."</p>
