Joe Biden is still a long ways from Hoover or FDR, who HL Mencken dubbed a "Fuhrer" peddlng envy and hatred. Don't get me wrong, Joe Biden is certainly dumb enough to copy them. But we won't see the truly stupid ideas until we hit the recession.
Love this guy. You can tell when someone is ignorant of history. They will act like Obama, Biden, Trump, or Bush are the worst presidents in US history. When you look at what FDR, Wilson, and Lincoln did and the consequences no modern president can hold a candle to them. From my reading of history the US was far closer to socialism during the FDR period than it is today. Neither Biden nor Obama can hold a candle to FDR.
