1932 Revisited
In 1932 newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed sweeping social and infrastructure programs. The country needed help, but the Republicans ridiculed him and labeled him and the Democrats as Socialists. Luckily these programs were completed, and America grew strong again. Today some 90 years later the same situation has occurred. Will we go forward or do nothing and hope that by some miracle the country becomes stronger? We need strong progressive leadership today just as in 1932.
