At how many RPMs would you guess ........
...... FDR has been spinning in his grave since the dismantling of the social safety he established has been getting slowly ripped asunder for the last half century?

3. We can only hope it's either 1800, 3600 or 7200
If so, we can exhume him, attach magnets to his shoulders, wrap magnet wire around his casket, put him back in the ground and have a nice supply of free electricity.

11. Hey, if you'd prefer to incarcerate half the populace rather than make sure basic needs are met,
then I hope you don't mind being taxed into oblivion.

Meanwhile... how are you on pepperoni and black olives?

Me, I'm a big fan.

5. im sure hes also spinning because of glass-steagall being repealed
Edited on Sun Nov-15-09 09:37 PM by Razoor
because of the Glass-Steagall act being repealed leading to the current condition we are in, among with help from Reagan through clinton and *

but I would think he would be apalled at the social safety net being ripped and torn away.

8. All of them
If the Earth reverses rotation in 2012, it'll be because him, TR, and the Founding Fathers are approaching light-speed.

14. What makes it really bad....
...is that it is the Democratic Party doing the heavy work of dismantling the New Deal.

Watch Out!
"Entitlement Reform" (Social Security/Medicare) is NEXT on the DLC Hit List.

15. I think we should exhume all the good presidents and put very strong magnets in their pockets
Wrap the coffin with coils of copper wire and viola, a dynamo.

Carbon free energy.
