How the country and FDR did during the 30's is subject to debate. There is plenty of evidence that his policies made the depression worse.

What does this have to do with anything? Are you advocating that the government should be responsible for maintaining these great old barns, or supporting failing farmers?

How his policies "helped" us is again, not clear and subject to debate.
I will give him credit for playing a major role in starting the nanny state that is now bearing its inevitable fruit of bankrupting our once great nation.
Where our nation was once the worlds largest creditor, we are now the worlds largest debtor.
Thank you FDR (and those that followed)
