Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Here are some more quotes from Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
“I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”
“The test of our progress in not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Let’s not forget, that FDR and his programs pulled the USA out of a depression and allowed us to grow into a great nation, one that is presently being attacked from within. It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens and help them in times of need.
