Henry L. #Stimson was Secretary of War during WWII.

He was a #Harvard trained lawyer, a #Republican. He was Secretary of War under Taft and Secretary of State under Hoover. When #FDR needed the best person for the job in 1940, he reached across the aisle.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

In dictatorships there can be no party divisions. For all men must think as they are told, speak as they are told, write as they are told, live — and die — as they are told. In those countries the Nation is not above the party, as with us; the party is above the Nation; the party is the Nation. Every common man and woman is forced to walk the straight and narrow path of the party line, not strictly speaking a party line, but rather a line drawn by the dictator himself, who owns the party.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1941-03-29), Jackson Day Radio Broadcast, U.S.S. Potomac

Social Security History: In the Beginning - Chapter One Economic Conditions

#SocialSecurityat90
#StrongerTogether

The accompanying video is narrated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and gives an overview of the economic conditions existing prior to the enactment of the social Security Act, August 14, 1935.

FDR begins:

“Long before the economic blight of the depression descended on the nation, millions of our people were living in wastelands of want and fear. Long before 1929, men and women, too old and infirm to work either depended on those who had but little to share, or spent their remaining years within the walls of a poorhouse.” - FDR’s radio address on 3rd anniversary of Social Security Act, August 15, 1938. Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/archives/collections/utterancesfdr.html

The video quotes extensively from SSA Historian, Dr. Abe Bortz’s Lecture on the History of Social Security (https://www.ssa.gov/history/bortz.html), including:
“...extraordinary economic and social problems for 20th century Americans.

I hope you find this interesting.

Although #Nazi #Germany initially responded with equanimity--"unlikely to affect war"--it soon came to see #FDR's death as a miraculous opportunity, as

They refuse to compute & understand the conditions that led up to the #FDR / #SocDem style of reform for prosperity & hegemony which was pushed by violent & non-violent class struggle many #Socialist, #Marxist, #Communist, #Anarchist protests like the #CoalWar for example.

That Era will not come back, no matter what #Progressive people who're tied to the #Democrats say, it will not come back.
