I have been in a union for more than thirty years and EVERY vote I have made has been secret ballot gummitch …. yes, the crops were actually destroyed - they were plowed over. also, let's not mention that the government actually killed 6 million piglets. however, you're missing the point. of his fdr's 'deals' 8 were found unconstitutional. more importantly, it shows how fdr and this well educated staff of idiots, made things worse by interfering with the free market. fdr demonized the free market as well. it's also well documented that fdr was taking the lead from the fascist policies of mussolini. people called fdr a socialist and communist also.
