FDR was a Socialist

With all the talk and shit about America becoming a socialist country, I had a thought today about it all. Now, I don't mind America adopting socialist ideaolgies were needed, but then, I know that Nazi Germany wasn't socialist so that argument is out. And we have some socialism in America (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Welfare), so shut the fuck up.
But I was thinking about The Great Depression, no suprise given how fucked up everything is right now. And I remember how all the Great Works from the era got America in the position to rebuild, granted World War 2 really got us back on our feet. But here's the thing, the Great Works that where done, thanks to FDR (the best President ever in my opinion), I'm of the opinion that they where socialist in origin. Granted, I can see how that can be argued that they wheren't, but at the same time it was the government who created the projects, along with any company that could help, that got people working again.
But this is what Obama has to be, another Franklin D. Roosevelt in terms of New Deals and a new series of Great Works that will revitalize our country and even go so far as to rebuild those old Great Works and rebuild and modernize our infrastructure (and de-centralize it). And as I've written about before, we need to also have a major re-education program in America to re-establish our "blue collar" jobs, farms and bring jobs from overseas back home. We need to reorganize our country in a very fundamental fashion for every citizen to make the best of what America has to offer.
I will say again that everyone should read the sections of "World War Z" that focuses on the character 'Arthur Sinclair'. What is talked about in the book is what America did to rebuild itself within the Safe Zone is something we need to do. We need re-education and re-training for Americans all across the board. We need to create jobs that we haven't been in need of yet or that have been dissolved for cheaper labor and production in other countries.
Our economy is far too specialized and post-Industrial. We need a non-specialized economy and an economy based on both the technological direction the world is heading and more locally based along with the niche of taking care of the people we have and for the protection and re-establishment of an injured ecology. But that's just my opinion.

I doubt any of you cunts will listen to this. You'll just read it, knod your head, possibly give a 'kudos' and/or a comment and then move on. Fuck you, you're part of the problem.
