Wait…Kristen and Josiah thought FDR got us out of the Depression? That is a actually a common misconception. He was President during that time, and he was excellent at handling the start of WWII, and he was a great morale boost to the country, but I wouldn’t use his economic policies as the measure of his greatness. After all, there were many previous economic crashes and recoveries that other Presidents got through by just letting the free market and the American people do their thing. Those recoveries had the added benefit of not bogging down future generations with excess government debt and dependencies. WWII’s restrictiveness on the economy helped us to escape the Great Depression, not FDR’s big government approach prior to it.
You can make a case for liking FDR the best as a President, but the reason Kristen gave was shoddy. I would also like to assert that this is a why I think FDR is more overrated than JFK.
Of course, Kristen is the best President of T.O.P.H.A.T. ever. #BringBackKristen
