I agree that history is cyclical, although I've always preferred the metaphor of a pendulum. My fear is that the conditions of our country will demand another FDR (and I agree we are close to that now), but they will never reach power because the system is structured against them.

I think my hope is that we'll get an actual other FDR - a guy willing to use the system, who is very rich, but also is hugely empathetic and is willing to do real good. Basically a guy willing to use the system for the greater good.
