FDR did a good job keeping the radical factions within the Democratic party in line/ under control with his record use of the veto which kept America together during the years of the Great Depression.

Like I've mentioned, FDR doubled down on the change that Hoover was forced to make during the early years of the Great Depression. I'm sure that you are familiar with the Hoover Dam. We had a major economic problem during the 70's (post LBJ/Vietnam era) that needed to be addressed/fixed. A big government problem that couldn't be fixed the old Democratic way because the old Democratic way of doing business and years of tossing billions upon billions at all kinds of people problems was starting to cause problems. So, how many years will it be before big government believers admit that the government is broke and the era of big government being looked to solve our problems has to end?

The government is never broke.  It has a printing press, or the electronic equivalent of one.  Your rendering of history seems a bit stretched.  If you really care about the debt and deficits, then look here:



Note: the debt dropped in real terms from the end of WW-II until 1973.  Most of that era was dominated by Democrats. Feel free to correlate the rest of the periods

Hmm..I see signs of a federal government that's broke and living well beyond it means. I don't care about the deficits or the debt at this point. Hardly nobody cares about them yet. I do know that they'll eventually become a big problem and the central issue of the crisis. I've even given an opinion on how the problem will eventually be resolved as the two governments opt to part and go they're separate ways vs fighting another bloody Civil War to keep the country together.
