FDR, Democrat Hero or Conservative? [Reader Post]

I just finished reading An American Life, the autobiography of Ronald Reagan. The book was given to me by my oldest daughter, and I enjoyed it very much.

Financial executives retort that the president’s pursuit of financial regulations is punitive and that new rules may be “holding us back.”
