That was Truman shocking the fuck out of everyone at Potsdam. FDR kept him in the dark with regards to foreign policy. He had mere weeks to prepare and he performed admirably. Suck our dick, Molotov.
FDR was a big step down from Teddy in terms of Roosevelts, but he did have some good policies
good policies
>Redlining (keeping blacks from white neighborhoods)
>Wall Street regulation (Glass Steagall, etc)
>counter cyclical spending
>anti communist measures
>increased military spending
>increased infrastructure spending
bad policies
>hiring pro USSR spies and communists (Morgenthau, Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss, Harry Hopkins)
>social security (regressive taxation)
>surplus destruction (full retard)
>make work programs (useless)
>stacking Supreme court
>handed half the world to communists
