Yes.

FDR was truly both a man of his times and class and a man who transcended his time and class. Not only was he transformative, he was mostly a force for good (I have some problems with his unsuccessful attempt to pack the Supreme Court).

But, if this year holds that transformative potential, and on economic grounds I fear it might, then poverty is also a real fear. When I was staying with [livejournal.com profile] eanja the first time, I ended up having to fill in paperwork declaring myself indigent in order to receive medical care. So that's where my mind first went when you mentioned 1932.
