I guess I should have said this in the beginning but why not have Longer think he has something...
Longer, I have known about FDR's second bill of rights for sometime now. I wrote about it a few years ago. So don't get too swelled of a head. It sounds great but it is unworkable without changing the character of the American individual. FDR was dying when he put this out there. The war was going to be won in time but the American people had put up with rationing and shortages. Some people had gotten rich making weapons and supplies for the troops. Senator Truman was making headlines revealing war profiteering. Domestically the people were restless. Remember 1944 was an election year. FDR could propose and the Congress would dispose.
The second bill of rights was less a political agenda than a political Hail Mary.
How about Donald Trump?
