But seriously, I wouldn’t consider the NRA the worst piece of legislation in American History, or even one of them.

Whatever you think of Mussolini, you have to agree his authoritarianism was good for the Italian economy. Now, what Mussolini and Hitler went on to do was deplorable, but you can’t fault FDR for trying to be the big leader taking of the Depression. Would you in the GD have wanted a leader like Hoover who just closed his eyes and waited for it to go away? Remember that most of the New Deal was throwing out ideas and seeing what stuck / was constitutional.

Although the propoganda is kind of creepy…
