President Franklin Roosevelt's was one of the smartest and greatest president of The United States. President Roosevelt had polio, WWII, and the great depression on his plate and still maintain to achieve great progress. FDR "New Deal" fought the Great Depression on a number of fronts. In the famous "First Hundred Days" of his presidency, FDR pushed through legislation that reformed the banking and financial sectors. Unlike former president Hoover, FDR provided direct cash relief for the poor and jobs programs.
Just how President Obama use social media to communicate with the American people, Roosevelt's used the radion also know as "fireside chats," in which he spoke to the nation about the country's problems to calmed the worried public.
In 1935 FDR created an act know as "The Wagner Act" which allowed labor unions to organize and bargain collectively. Arguably the best legislation in American history the Social Security Act, which set up programs designed to provide for the needs of the aged, the poor, and the unemployed, establishing a social welfare net that, covered all Americans. FDR urge and heavily relied upon the idea that the federal government have to interfere more in the American people daily life. By the end of his second term, FDR and his advisers agreed that the federal government should stimulate the national economy through its spending policies, which is also known as "Keynesian economics"a strategy that held during the progressive era.
Nonetheless, FDR did much to reshape the United States. With Roosevelt as its presidential candidate, the Democratic Party won again in 1936, caaried out a succesful foreign policy during WWII,layed a greater role than ever before in managing the American economy, allowed the federal government to expand in need for the people, and in protecting the welfare of the American people. FDR is the greatest president in American history; FDR created important changes in American politics and governance that would define life in the United States for many years to come.
I really like the way you explained your point. I enjoyed the way you expressed your feeling with facts. Out of the things you mentioned I only knew a piece of. Like I knew what he was responsible for but not the specific names and times of it. This was very informal and I wonder will there ever be a president to come close to what he did during his time in office.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sucorah! I ask myself the same question, although they are steady comparisons between him and President Obama. They are still loads of great presidents though my favorite, Lincoln, LBJ, Kennedy, and Theodore Roosevelt. We will see how President Obama's tenure plays out.
