created immediate jobs and brought electricity to the rural portions of seven states in the South — a program that still operates today as the nation’s largest public power provider.

FDR’s programs not only helped people struggling at that time but also provided future generations of Americans with a safety net and better standard of living. Today’s Democratic leaders could propose guaranteed health care for those who now find themselves unemployed. With millions suddenly out of work and no jobs to be found, many will be left without health insurance as their employer-provided expire. No doubt countless will be unable to afford private health insurance for themselves or their families, making this the ideal time for Democrats to advocate for expanding programs like Medicare to include the newly unemployed and their families.

— which are now 12 percentage points less likely than Americans overall to have home broadband. Such a program would immediately create jobs while also offering a lasting benefit to both rural Americans and America overall. Many other ambitious programs would do the same, such as providing universal Pre-K or jumpstarting jobs tied to renewable energy.

THINK The democrats? Are you kidding? Who was calling Trump a xenophobe for stopping flights from China, or encouraging people in San Francisco to go out in crowds, or to the movies in New York. Democrats would finish America off...which is their goal anyway.

THINK Haha haha. God. that’s a good joke.

THINK I don't think so.

THINK Of all the asinine things I read from NBCnews, this is vying for top spot.

THINK PureBS NBC pure BS

THINK So NBC is openly in the tank for democrats ?

THINK This type of propaganda shows how much NBC is a shill for the Democrat party.

THINK So blatantly bias

THINK Is this satire?

THINK And you wonder why our president won’t allow biased, divisive reporters to take advantage of him.SMDH.

THINK Republican readers are going to go apeshit reading this headline. They did not like the black guy and will never see the truth to this. Hate filled stupidly please apply below

THINK FDR set this country on a crash course of lifelong debt along with LBJ. You folks are DF’s.

THINK Oh gosh no, democrats will make everything free

THINK The New Deal prolonged the recovery read the history of it. Let’s not repeat FDR’s and the Democrat’s mistakes unless you want WW3 to bail you out like WW2 did.

THINK Democrats are a joke!

THINK not gonna happen time is up

THINK Come on be honest. Trump would be best served to bring back the economy.

THINK Omg NO TRUMP 2020!!!!!!!!!

THINK Seems like every war we were in over the last 100 years was when a Democrat was President.

THINK Now that's fucking funny. Morons.

THINK NBC News is the public relations wing of the Democratic Party. Their news isn't objective or credible.

THINK The only FDR DEM is Bernie and the Squad.

THINK Almost EVERY SINGLE TIME the GOP controlled government 'We need bailouts & socialism' 1929- to fix the GOP Great Depression 1989- to fix the GOP Saving & Loan scandal 2008- to fix the GOP Great Recession 2019- to fix the GOP trade war 2020- to fix the GOP corona fiasco

THINK Ahaha

THINK Bullshit. No wonder your network has had six owners in the last decade. One time the gold standard is the shitstandard for fake news. Good nite Chet; g’nite David; and GOODBYE 👋 NBC News ...

THINK This means being a Republican is win-win. If you’re a Republican, when Republicans win, your party wins. And when Democrats win, America wins!

THINK Obviously!

THINK Really? So far the only thing democrats have proposed are costly actions like OBAMACARE!!!! Oh my!! But eh, it’s NBCNews so who gives a crap 💩. You are the epitome of broken

THINK

THINK 🙆‍♀️

THINK Eh, no

THINK NBC your full of it. World War II brought America out of the Depression.

THINK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 25 mil to Kennedy center, yeah that will save us

THINK NBC...your as bad as CNN

THINK FDR was way overrated. Racist and anti Semitic.

THINK Not even a Democrat can save it this time. Trumps fuck up is going to destroy the US empire. Thank God, it needs to collapse honestly.

THINK If only there were a candidate who advocated a sort of 'New Deal' and who were running as a Democrat. Someone who believes in 'us,' not just himself. No, that couldn't be. Forget I said anything.

THINK Seriously? After realDonaldTrump build the strongest economy in decades, the propaganda machine (AKA FakeNews ) calls for complete destruction by appointing a socialist (AKA democrat) Name one thing democrats have done to improve the lives of Americans in 10 years, just one?

THINK Big oppressive government never saved anyone

THINK Oh you mean like the last Democratic president...who gave millions to a guy in Ukraine who beheads people with a chainsaw...as they tried to win a Revolution against Russia

THINK We're still reeling from the damage that man did to America. No thank you.

THINK Oh democrats are done being president for a while!

THINK NOW I get it!

THINK You do realize that FDRs New Deal was an abject failure and extended the depression until he was able to get the US into WWII. So the Democrats plan to save America is get the US into the next WW? let's hope not.

THINK Socialism doesn’t work 🤦🏻‍♂️

THINK You cannot go by gross worth since America is in Debt.

THINK Really r idiots there at NBC!

THINK Damn Democrats will destroy America. The USA had a net worth of $123T in 2014. Because of coronavirus the Net worth the s probably around $100T. Bernie wants to spend $6T per day.

THINK an adorable thought. Repubs push it over a cliff... Democrats save it. one hand washes the other. repeat.

THINK Haha yea fuckin right. Democrats would push us over the cliff

THINK It is always like this.

THINK Joe Biden took $2 Billion from China. Off shored out medical industries. Are you insane or evil? China wet markets spawned this. China is withholding medicines and supplies. China owns Biden. You are not Journalism.

THINK Can’t wait for internment camps 2.0

THINK I posted that very same tweet weeks ago! We are in the Great Depression of 2020 & we need a work program starting now. If Trump realizes this, he'll be a hero. I don't think Biden is mentally capable. Who? Draft Rep. Joe Kennedy III?

THINK Not happening but Pelosi is trying to trash the country like her home city

THINK Another democratic president Trump hates. Trump thinks this crisis is unique. Hey Trump, GDR handled the Great Recession and WWII.

THINK Wait, 'save' America? We're just back to where we were when Obama was President. We don't need to be 'saved' from those kind of unemployment and stock market numbers, do we?

THINK Puke

THINK And here it is folks the reason for all the hysteria they know trump would win. They want everything to crash and manipulate you into voting dem

THINK Comparing Trump to Hoover is like grapes to grapes. Haha

THINK What a bullshit! 🤣

THINK FDR made the depression deeper and made it last longer.

THINK So joe biden can get the same slowest recovery award as Barack Obama did?

THINK They've never saved America. FDR dragged out the Depression.

THINK

THINK Hahahaha hahahaha

THINK

THINK

THINK lmao as if a democrat will do what's right for whites like FDR did? hilarious
