I have become aware, in recent years, of the criticism of the Economic Policies of FDR and how he really did not get this nation out of the Great Depression. He did change
1) the role of the Federal Government, and expanded it GREATLY;
2) attitudes of most Americans towards the Federal Government,
3) and helped make the nation more optimistic about the future, despite the delay in ending the Great Depression.
Here is another view of the role of FDR to worsen the Great Depression:

Franklin Roosevelt “did bring us out of the Depression,” Newt Gingrich told a group of Republicans after the recent election, and that makes FDR “the greatest figure of the 20th century.” As political rhetoric, the statement is likely to come from someone who does not support a market economy. The New Deal, after all, was the largest peacetime expansion of federal government power in this century. Moreover, Gingrich’s view that FDR saved us from the Depression is indefensible; Roosevelt’s policies prolonged and deepened it.
There’s no doubt that Roosevelt changed the character of the American government—for the worse.

New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America Paperback – November 17, 2009
by Burton W. Folsom Jr. (Author)
A sharply critical new look at Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency reveals government policies that hindered economic recovery from the Great Depression -- and are still hurting America today.
In this shocking and groundbreaking new book, economic historian Burton W. Folsom exposes the idyllic legend of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a myth of epic proportions. With questionable moral character and a vendetta against the business elite, Roosevelt created New Deal programs marked by inconsistent planning, wasteful spending, and opportunity for political gain -- ultimately elevating public opinion of his administration but falling flat in achieving the economic revitalization that America so desperately needed from the Great Depression. Folsom takes a critical, revisionist look at Roosevelt's presidency, his economic policies, and his personal life.
