There's A LOT more to the new deal than most people know. There's a reason why he "intentionally" prolonged the Great Depression. The biggest reason is the US was declared bankrupt in 1933 (by design) and FDR signed the War Powers Act of 1933 which declared all US citizens enemies of the STATE. Since this time they have allowed it to continue and is why every President declares a national emergency within months of being in office. This gives them cover to continue their war on the people.
