Verified answer

This isnt a perfect answer but he goes not much:

He used the government and government created jobs to help combat the effects of the Great Depression. He created jobs to stimulate a dead economy. He put people to work so they could feed their families.

He also started what essentially became welfare and foodstamps during the same period for the same reasons, to feed people.

This was good and bad, good because people got fed, and bad because it started a chain of events and precedents that would eventaully become the 49 million teated sow that 49 million "Americans" are currently suckling on. It was meant to help people who were down-trodden and as such had merit. But also, because some people will take anything for free even if they dont need it, it has become widely abused.

He thought he could prevent another great depression by using government to oversee a lot of the things that crashed and took out the economy with them. This also set another precedent and unfortunate chain of events that led us to the bloated and ineffectual government we have today.

they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, Well, our friend Teddy was one hell of a brick layer.

EDIT: Jesus George, ever hear of punctuation?

It was the desperation and the socialist doctrine becoming more popular under the economic destruction then. That was caused again then, as it is yet again now, by huge hordes of grossly overpopulating excess labor literally swallowing the economies of the world.

Those programs did little to improve the economy but they did bring some relief for some people. He and congress stole citizens gold coins and bullion to help support them and back our currency he and congress inflated 60%. Foreign holders of our currency and bonds were allowed gold in exchange, at the rate inflated from $20 per ounce to $32 per ounce, but citizens were outlawed from holding any or exchanging currency for any.

Only the new post WW II high tech industries soaking up the prior hordes of excess labor in the Euro-culture, along with "boomer" generation Euro-culture delaying reproduction, increased common people's prosperity to unprecedented levels.

However all that began decaying ever faster particularly from the 1990's as cheap, fast container shipping took whole industries to the still grossly overpopulating hordes of excess labor accepting tiny wages mostly in Asian nations with modern ports.

"Greedy capitalists" do suck workers blood, but they suck it from the floor. Overpopulating excess labor cuts each others' throats by undercutting each others' wages. The poor make themselves even poorer that way while they help make the rich richer supplying them with ever cheaper labor.

He was a socialist. His best friend was Joseph (uncle joe) Stalin. They used to get together and compare which one was implementing more socialist policies.

Also he was a member of the council. They took over the W.H. in 1928, and have won every pres election since. (look it up)

They built him a house right across from their Home office (H Pratt House ) in NY , so Rockefeller n buddies could keep an eye on him.

He was a liberal who thought the government should be large and controlling.
