Franklin Roosevelt was the best president possible during a time of need. Franklin Roosevelt had always had it all, until he became paralyzed one day. After endless Therapy he was able to get back into politics again. Being once paralyzed made him and much more down to earth, compassionate and understanding polititcian than any politician before. I think that is the reason, he was the best president possible to get the country out of the Depression.
Because of his understanding of being helpless i think that he had strong compassion and relatable feelings towards those hit hard by the depression. Because of this care for the people hit hard by the depression, he set up The Social Security Act which reached out to those who were unemployed, suffering old age, or disabled. this established the federal responsibly over the welfare of people. FDRs compassion to the helpless created something great that is still used today. If we did not, have Social Security today so many would suffer and be be struggling, especially when the economy hit us hard a few years ago.
