I've never seen a bad Ken Burns film - don't think there is one. Wish the rest of the stuff on TV was even half the caliber of this one!

Roosevelt's programs did a lot of good things, and saved a lot of lives. If the country was in the same depths of depression today (and it may will get there soon), it would be damn near impossible to get programs like FDR instituted approved by the politicians in DC today. The tealiban would be screaming "No, just let 'em die, I don't want any of my tax money used to help them". This country has gone to the dogs - obscenely greedy capitalistic Wall St dogs, and those who who can only dream of being just like them.
