@sapphyreblayze @angeertsen you asked if individual Americans believed they had a better standard of living than the average European, this individual American told you yes, and you pivoted to asking about the bottom 1% in America

If your definition of "health" is based exclusively on empirical numbers from a blood test, sure.

Seems like an exceedingly narrow definition, though.

Too many conservative Catholics let their understandable frustration over Pope Francis’s various problematic words and actions degenerate into disrespect for the person of the pope. And with some, this now seems to have evolved into a disrespect for the office of the papacy itself, which manifests in a knee-jerk “hermeneutics of suspicion” that is quick to put the worst spin on what Pope Leo says and does and freely to express criticism of him in a shockingly insolent manner. This is gravely sinful. While Pope Francis bears responsibility for damaging the prestige of the papal office, that gives no Catholic any excuse whatsoever for this bad behavior. As I have argued in several places, most of the criticism directed at Pope Leo is unjust, but even if it weren’t, no Catholic has the right to speak about him as if he were a mere politician or celebrity they dislike. In this short article from a few years back, I discuss Aquinas’s teaching that even a bad prelate has to be treated in a respectful manner, given the nature of his office: https://t.co/nTtei2nuV5

FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.

People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.

Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.

Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.

Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.

A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.

So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.

Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.

Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.

@AmericanMama @alx We have three branches of government and 2 of them can overcome the other one.

2 of the branches are also made up of entirely elected positions.

Your frustration with one of the two non-executive branches is misplaced.

This is a genius

People who wonder "How could Trump have won two elections?" have to face up to what a dumpster fire of ideological lunacy and incompetence the Democratic party is. The Democrats are Trump's secret weapon, just like Trump is theirs. Elections are now about finding ways to convince enough swing voters that you are slightly less dangerously insane than the alternative. That's where we are.

[BENZO-KAZOOIE @BENZOTOOIE]

Regardless of what you think about how Trump’s doing America’s 250th, we should all thank God we dodged whatever nationwide humiliation ritual Dems had cooked up.
