Want to help out the ENTIRE country, it's socialism. Want to help out higher income people? That's totally American and democratic!
My jingometer has been going off the scale lately.
Here we go again. People talking about Roosevelt that don't know a thing. Once again for all you Republicans out there.
1933-1937 Unemployment dropped from 25% in 1933 to about 14% give or take in 1937. It was also lower than that since government workers were not counted as employed during this period if you look at how the stats were collected. Also, the economy grew every year of Roosevelt's first two terms. What Castellanos left out was that in 1938 Roosevelt went to more conservative policies trying to balance the budget. He cut funding and raised taxes causing what used to be taught as the Roosevelt Recession.
Republicans you make my job so much harder since I am a college history professor and have to counter all of the lies that young people are hearing come out of your mouths. Looks like I got my work cut out for me tomorrow after this video.
