Americans generally pick Franklin Delano Roosevelt as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.

Why?

People usually say it is because he presided over two crises in American history - the Great Depression and World War II.

I contend that the limousine liberal FDR not only presided over these events, but was responsible for:
1) decimating the U.S. economy through government intervention; and
2) lying to the American people about their so-called interests in World War II.

FDR's meddling wasn't confined to 1933-1945. After his death, the New Deal programs continued (and continue) to destroy wealth and prevent growth. Unfortunately, modern-day Democrats worship FDR's socialist programs and modern-day Republicans glorify the destructive statism of "the Good War."
