EXCERPTS:
"'He got us out of the Great Depression.' That's probably the most frequent comment made about President Franklin Roosevelt, who died 65 years ago today. Every Democratic president from Truman to Obama has believed it, and each has used FDR's New Deal as a model for expanding the government.
It's a myth. FDR did not get us out of the Great Depression—not during the 1930s, and only in a limited sense during World War II..... The New Deal, by forcing taxes up and discouraging entrepreneurs from investing, probably did more harm than good."
