Williams is an idiot
And so is anyone who thinks FDR did anything except turn a market crash and 3 year recession into a decade long depression.
FDR raised the marginal tax rate from 25% to 94% at the end of WWII. You may as well not work and take the free pies at those confiscatory rates. History is your friend.
Brian displays the typical arrogant ignorance of the MSM stars. He is obviously quite unaware that FDR needlessly prolonged the Great Depression while pretending to a gullible populace that he was ending it.
Williams is evidently not aware of two top UCLA Economists, (not exactly a bastion of Convervativism), whose research recently credited Roosevelt with extending the Depression by 6 or 7 years by implementing exactly the wrong Economic policies from what was needed.
Of course we couldn't expect the Mainstream to research anything they write - could we.
