FDR got the money for the federal projects by creating the first peacetime income tax. Before that they had been only allowed during time of war or right afterward until the war debts were paid off. The idea of a rich man not paying his 'fair share' came from that time as well. Something like 60 percent of the rich in this country left between 1933 and 1939 because they were expected to pay up to 90 percent of their income as a 'fair share'. They also tried to make welfare an honorable thing.

The 'New Dealers' still in government right at the end of WWII were used in of all places, Germany after the war. They showed their way of thinking by dismantling 90 percent of Germany's industry (Only 40 percent of which was linked directly to military suppliers) and handing it to the Russians. They stood back as three quarters of a million German soldiers captured in France were made into slaves unable to leave France without passports while forcine them to work just to eat in the iron and coal mines.

Then to put the icing on the cake, they ordered all Russian prisoners, including those who had been in POW camps to be returned to Russia whether they wished to be or not. The Liensk Cossacks were among these, 60,000 prisoners taken by British and American troops turned over to the Russians who didn't even bother to ship them home. They all lay in mass graves in Austria now. Among them were almost 40,000 women and children brought out by their families.

Our service is All volunteer now; but you still hear the 'brainwashed soldier' crap.

Face it, we haven't had a decent president since Theodore Roosevelt.
