This is a speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt during his reelection campaign in 1936. It's sounds like a perfect sarcastic description of the political gamble being played with common people's lives, that is still going on these days as well ...


"Let me warn you, and let me warn the nation, against the smooth evasion that says 'Of course we believe these things. We believe in social security. We believe in work for the unemployed. We believe in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die.

'We believe in all these things. But we do not like the way that the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them, we will do more of them, we will do them better and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything'"

  • @DocNietzsche Socialist piece of shit!! Here in FL if u wanna get ur ass stomped fuck tard!!

  • @DocNietzsche anytime dick breath faggot! ready 2 bang when u r cunt!!

  • @Lmmarcher09 When Roosevelt created SS he only meant it to be alive for a short period of time- it was not meant to stay as long as it has.

  • He's talking about corporations and their lobbied tools in congress (all republicans today and the DINOs) about privatizing public services.

    How stupid can someone be to think a private for-profit company (with CEOs paid more than the Catholic Church has in the value of their artifacts) will actually provide any "service" to the American people for less than our Government?

  • Answer? Oust Obama and his cronies, keep green project research alive, invest in oil so that we can create more jobs and lowr the overall living cost in this country. Lower fuel ost equals lower everything else cost. Simple.

  • Additionally I'd like to point out that the president's plan for green energy based ecomics for our future, although not entirely bad, has produce far less results in terms of job creation than has big oil. Look at the amount of jobs the new oil discoveries in the Dakotas have created. The unemployment there is at 3.5% a full 4.7% lower than the national average. Now you tell me the next step we should take...

  • Lol. Here's the thing. Social security is now bankrupt. The current administration has spent a total o 6.8 billion dollars. This is borrowed and printed money. Not earned money. And it is more spent than all presidential administrations in history prior. And we only have 2000,000 jobs to show for it? Something is not right...

  • @mpdonohue7: You want to step outside, pussy? No, you're the type of coward that likes to talk all kinds of shit online but can't back it up. Any time, mp. Any time.

  • That speech means that the Republicans have not changed a lick in over 70 years.

  • @801liveable The man had a long reach. Even with his wheelchair he towers over the likes of Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Obama.
