Default NY Times Story on Pilot Population Decline

Bush wasn't wrong; he was deceitful.

He was wrong =and= deceitful. But he was elected to office. Twice.
After four years of study, half of America still couldn't answer a one
question true-false test.

FDR had his detractors too. You seem to worship him. Maybe he was
good, but I do not believe that anything he said was golden - that he
was incapable of being wrong.

It is possible that SSI morphed into something FDR did not envision.
(remember, the original SSI was that everybody's children would pay for
a tiny number of elderly retirees, in exchange for a promise). However,
in that case he was wrong for not envisioning the disaster it could
easily turn out to be.

FDR is certainly capable of being wrong.

Any of us are capable (with fifty years of hindsight FDR didn't have) of
seeing that.
