So Obama is going to start WWIII (or IV or V, depending on how you count...), and lay waste to the rest of the world, to get us out of the doldrums? After all, that is what got us out of The Great Depression.
If anything FDR’s programs prolonged the Depression.
The longer he could hold back the private sector, the longer he had to increase Gov't power and ensure Democratic dole-votes.
FDR is Obama's hero, and Obama is trying to do the very same thing.
