And anyone who knows about FDR's creation of a place for his fellow "polios" in Warm Springs Georgia knows about his ability to connect with others who were victims of his disease.

Humor me. I'm curious to see whether you can transcend the meaningless to ambiguous one liners you rely on.

Yeah I would not trust school boards with SS.

Am not. The New Deal was a minimalist appeasement to keep the mob from rebellion and as Pio pointed out FDR was a great salesman. He was also a great leader and it was our dominant position at the end of WWII and the myth of that and our post war dominance, not New Deal SS, that provided your cement.

Humor yourself which is what you do on a regular basis. For example, your second sentence.

"Minimalist appeasement" aside, it was revolutionary for its time and achieved its objective of pulling most of our elderly out of penury. That's something that a dominant economy doesn't even address.

The New Deal covered about half the populace. No need to noblesse oblige any more gold than is necessary to maintain control of the mob.
