A recent New York Times piece carried the headline "How FDR's Heir Is Changing The Country," matched in sycophancy only by CNN's opinion piece "The three striking similarities between FDR and Biden."
Overseas media caught the FDR bug as well, with the British Guardian asking: "Biden's FDR moment? President in New Deal-like push that could cement his legacy."
Just as with LBJ, likening Biden to FDR does him no favors.
When FDR entered office in 1933, the economy was indeed in a deep Depression, with plunging output and prices, and soaring unemployment with nearly a third of the workforce out of a job.
Like FDR, Biden wants to pack the Supreme Court, a terrible signal to send to both businesses and workers.
Now, as with FDR, Biden wants to administer wholly unneeded medicine to a patient that doesn't really need it.
Likening someone of Biden's shady political past to FDR is bad enough; but to do so on the very thing that FDR failed at, the economy, is not flattering at all.
