the problem with socialism is that it runs contrary to the constitution. Since the gov. is supposed to be run according to that document, it would seem that fdr did what was politically expediant instead of what was legally right. the great depression was a natural phenomenon that was a result of the poor practice of allowing people to by stock on margin, and then breaking the trust of the people causing a run on the banks. when it looks bad, people like having cash on hand. if the government had allowed business to feel the pain, the likelyhood of ever having to go thru that again would have been minimal. this country is built on the idea of strong, compassionate individuals, appealing to the best in mankind, not the socialist marxist idea of redistribution of wealth. free money just makes a man weak. fdr was the king of free money, and fathered the modern socialist state we are now drowning in.
