You know...like we used to....:s4:
Washington, OK, he was the prototype, the man who led the fight on the battlefield to break the USA away from Great Britain; Lincoln did what he thought he needed to do to preserve the USA, even though he started many of the problems that plague us yet today - centralization of power in D.C. being the main one; FDR did everything right? Hardly. If anything his policies caused the economy to limp along and stay mired in depression and then recession until the manufacturing engine of the USA was cranked up by WWII. FDR also further concentrated power in D.C. The individual state governments are now mere shells of what they are supposed to be.
