@mott-the-hoople saidRight so we’ve gone from first socialist ( wrong ) to first American socialist ( wrong ) and now first socialist POTUS which is also wrong.
dont remember either of these being president.
FDR implemented ‘demand economy’ policies in order to drag the failed cowboy capitalist system out of the crapper.
FDR saved capitalism from an early grave but in Trumptown he’s a socialist. 😂😂
@earl-of-trumps saidTry something new for a change. Learn something:
Andy: Look up Eugene V. Debs, an American socialist long before FDR's time.

Oh...? And just what Social Welfare programs did Debs start? Nudda!

@kevcvs57 - Right so we’ve gone from first socialist ( wrong )

That was HandyAndy that said that, thinking he was paraphrasing me. He was wrong.
...to first American socialist ( wrong ) and now first socialist POTUS which is also wrong.

Really?! Who was the first socialist POTUS, in your estimation?
Kev, with the HUGE HUGE expenditures of Social Security and Social Welfare that
FDR started, I am sure he has no equal in the 'impact' sense.
