Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States and the only president
to serve more than 2 terms in office from 1933 to 1945. He was a well-respected leader who is
known for his role in leading the country through some of its most challenging times, including
the Great Depression and World War II. Prior to his presidency, Roosevelt served as the
Governor of New York, where he gained a reputation for his progressive policies and his
commitment to helping those in need.
One of the biggest challenges that Roosevelt faced during his presidency was the Great
Depression. The country was facing massive unemployment and economic instability, and
Roosevelt knew that he needed to take bold action to address these issues. He came up with a
series of programs and policies, known as the New Deal, which aimed to boost the economy and
provide relief to those who were struggling. While some of these policies were controversial,
they ultimately helped to pull the country out of the depression and set the stage for future
economic growth.
When comparing Roosevelt's presidency to that of the current President, President Biden,
there are some significant differences. While Roosevelt was known for his progressive policies
and his willingness to take bold action to address the country's challenges, President Biden has
been criticized for not taking enough action. However, no matter these differences, they both
took our country from a state of economic depression to a state of economic expansion. Biden
spent a lot of his presidency after the Covid-19 depression hit. The Covid-19 depression resulted
in very high unemployment and CPI (inflation) rates. Despite this, he rallied our economy and
passed the Inflation Reduction Act which increased real GDP, wages, employment, stock market
returns, and household net worth. Overall, Franklin D. Roosevelt led a presidency of leadership
and helped America to progress in his time as president.
