 “The comparatively greater prosperity of the United States is an outcome of the fact that the New Deal did not come in 1900 or 1910, but only in 1933.”

~Ludwig von Mises, Planning for Freedom, page 136.

“The cyclical fluctuations of business are not an occurrence originating in the sphere of the unhampered market, but a product of government interference with business conditions designed to lower the rate of interest below the height at which the free market would have fixed it.”

~Ludwig von Mises, Human Action, pages 562 and 565.

Among liberal and progressive radical socialists the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt was and is now considered one of the top three greatest Presidents that ever lived in the same class as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Read American historians, who also are mostly liberals and progressives and whose knowledge of economics is as limited or even more limited than President Roosevelt, they too believe in the greatness of FDR.

This legend is the biggest myth or more precisely lie ever told and endless repeated.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was simply the worse President the United States has ever had in terms of the impact his economic policies had on the American economy and American people.

If you doubt this, I strongly recommend you read all of the above books.

What is so disturbing and very dangerous is that one of Barack Obama Presidential role models is Franklin Roosevelt.

President Obama  has surrounded himself with economic and political advisors who are progressive radical socialists that actually believe that repeating FDR’s economic policies would be a good for the country.

Thus the massive bailouts, stimulus packages, massive budget deficits, huge increases in the national debt, proposed new tax increases including the Cap and Trade Energy Tax,  letting the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, and the new health care bill forcing people to buy health insurance or pay a tax fine.

Barack Obama and Franklin D. Roosevelt have many characteristics in common.

Both were educated at Harvard and Columbia Universities.

Both were excellent readers of prepared speeches.

Both were habitual liars.

Both were great believers in class warfare on businesses and the rich with very high progressive  income tax rates while at the same time imposing  hidden very regressive excise taxes on low and middle income Americans.

Both were ignorant of economics. job and wealth creation

Both destroyed jobs and wrecked the U.S. economy.

Good intentions are not enough.

Results count.

President Obama is intentionally repeating the economic mistakes of President Roosevelt that will destroy both free market capitalism and democracy and lead to a totalitarian command and control socialist economy.

I hope President Obama fails early and often and is a one term President that in the process destroys the Democratic Party of progressive radical socialists.

With over 25,000,000 Americans seeking fully time employment, repeating the mistakes of Keynesian government interventist economic policies that have repeatedly failed in country after country will only prolong the duration of the  Obama Depression.

Republican and Democratic Presidents, in the past and present, Hoover and Roosevelt, and Bush and Obama, have failed the American people by implementing massive government intervention in the free market capitalist economy.

Read and listen to economist Thomas Sowell on President Obama’s economic policies using Roosevelt as a model:

Thomas Sowell on the Housing Boom and Bust

Thomas Sowell – Obama’s Economic Policy

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

~George Santayana
