Most overrated president in our history. The New Deal was Keynesianism/socialism and gave rise to Big Government in this country. He signed an executive order banning private ownership of gold; and after he was informed that gold was worth $35/ounce, he signed a second executive order that forced Americans to sell their gold to the Department of Treasury for $25/ounce -- robbing the people of almost a third of its value without a vote. FDR was an authoritarian, a socialist, and a looter.
