The one word that kept Ted Kennedy from ever winning the nomination or the White House itself: Chappaquiddick.

Archie Bunker: Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. Carrol O’Conner: Herbert Hoover hid out in the White House responding to patriotic pronouncements and we got a hell of a depression.

Carroll would have enjoyed reading the study by UCLA hardly a conservative university and they found FDR's economic policies extending the depression by 10 years. Was published in 2010.

FDR's New Deal brought prosperity back to the people. His economic policies were the best this country has ever had. @@williamsannuto8239

[@bondinvisible]

@@williamsannuto8239I m pretty sure the depression ended in the early 40s

[@bondinvisible]

besides without FDR there would be no minimum wage or middle class and he brought unemployment down from 25% to 2%

[@williamsannuto8239]
