Lincoln established the "Green Backs" which was a central bank currency a pre-cursor to the Federal Reserve.
Reagan was 100% worse than FDR and here is why. Reagan didn't do a fucking thing that he promised. FDR accomplished EVERYTHING he promised. Reagan was a mega cuck. He betrayed the Right Wing. FDR emboldened the left wing.
FDR did accomplish much of his promises, but he was a banker-backed left-wing politician, so accomplishing his promises isn't a good thing. The New Deal and the Brain Trust alone are enough to put FDR in the top 10 worst presidents.
But he didn't accomplish all his campaign promises. He initially ran as an anti-war candidate, then did everything he could do to justify getting into WW2. That was probably the biggest disaster of the 20th century, and our entire society changed on the basis of the story we've been sold about that war.
I’m not arguing about the merits of FDR...logically without the colossal fuck up that is Lincoln we never would have had FDR.
Though inevitably FDR assassinated his Republican opponent so he would have happened regardless. Lincoln though from a Republican stand point is not a model character which is my point. All Republican icons are scum.
