When he took over, unemployment was 25% (which would have been 20% had his stupid politics not created the banking failures just prior to his election - my grandmother lost everything). When the ramp-up for WWII began in 1939 the unemployment rate was still 18%.

This is evidence that our American education system has failed. We desperately need a separation of education and state.

At 90 years of age I recall the needs of the people, especially in the rural areas.

Survival was the top of the list. Determination and self discipline did not always provide for a good nights sleep but it developed the strength for tomorrow. Patience and understanding remain essential today.

I felt pretty good getting 6 of 8 correct,one which was incorrect was the 25% unemployment rate. I knew it bottomed out at 25% during the Depression but thought that took place later. I have also read a couple of times, James Powell's "FDR's Folly",an excellent read about the falsehoods we were taught in school about the New Deal. Many lessons to be learned in Mr. Powell's book.
