How do you feel about Biden NOW?

Wrong, as we've covered before and you ignore, oil is a GLOBAL COMMODITY,

Yet Russia holds the largest reserves of that Commodity. IIRC... I showed you a chart a while back of who has what for reserves.

We have a "drop in a bucket" compared to many other countries.

Actually I do understand. I was raised by Depression Era parents. Try again...

 

[04_Sport_LS]

And yes... Roosevelt implemented many social programs. Even then... American citizens lost their Ass during that era.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

And yes... my Dad was an Airplane mechanic (stateside) during WW2, at Chandler Air Force Base.

And yet you declared obvious bullshit just because FDR was a Democrat:

Kudos to your father. WWII was fought on the front lines and back home.

Somewhere around here I have an airplane spark plug... still in the cardboard tube. I think it was for a Corsair.

I have a few other WW2 moments also.

So I do know a bit about what I'm talking about about.

I'll add that my great grandfather was an Ensign in the Navy during WWI.

I actually know a fair amount about the Great Depression. I've heard all the stories... first hand.

That generation is now gone.

The bit where you claimed F.D. Roosevelt didn't create jobs was wrong though.

 

[TheDude]

That generation is now gone.

There's still over 115K WWII US vets alive, but they're in the age group where they're dying off en masse. Another decade and they'll be almost none or possibly none.

Read again please. I wasn't saying Roosevelt didn't create jobs. The WPA is proof he did.

But with the Great Depression as bad as it was, there's no possible way job creation during that time, led to positive numbers.

That's why I think your numbers are skewed, and what I "called you out" on initially.

So the home foreclosures during the great Depression prove high job losses... even if YOUR statistics don't.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

I've heard all the stories first hand. People jumping out of high story buildings (commiting suicide) after losing everything.

My Great grandfather (the Ensign) and his wife... and my mom (and Aunt) living in a 2 room flat in NYC... managed to go through the depression fairly unscathed. But it wasn't easy.

You Trumpers are getting even weirder, no idea why I'm even s little bit surprised at this point.

Well, you kinda did.

Hoover lost the jobs, Hoover and Trump are the only two presidents to lose jobs by the end of their terms. These are historical facts.

The Civil Works Administration (Executive Order 6420-B) signed by FDR is what kept millions of people working, building secondary roads, parks, schoolhouses, playgrounds and other projects. The Civilian Conservation bill kept a few million more employed. There's more.

I find it funny that F.D. Roosevelt is one of the most celebrated US Presidents regardless of personal politics and you're trying to go out of your way to ignore or wrap reality, so you can shit on the man just because he was a Democrat. LoL.

 

[04_Sport_LS]

Not true... but I have other reasons I don't particularly care for him, that go into the (old) League of Nations and the people of power in that era.

I couldn't find that thread now if I wanted to. Well maybe...

 

[04_Sport_LS]

Yup. It's in here. Wayyyy back.
