Is the US headed towards a socialist government?

[--Pete]

Hi,

Second, if FDR broke the back of the US economy, he did a piss poor job of it. The years following FDR were the best the US has ever had. During his time in office, the great depression turned around, the largest war in history was won, and the groundwork was laid for the postwar boom.

To be fair, it was primarily WW II that broke the (global) depression and, because of the immense manufacturing surge it forced, brought about the postwar boom. Though FDR's policies did help hold the country together during a critical decade.

If Obama is the new FDR, then I don't think you have much to worry about.

Maybe. Time will tell.
