there was absolute lack of constitutional control during this time.

And, FDR didn't lead us into a recovery. Rather, it was WWII and afterwards before there was a recovery. His govt confiscated gold. With food shortages widespread FDR's agriculture policies resulted in food being burnt rather than sold. This was accompanied by some outrageously authoritarian tactics by his administration, for example jailing business people for violating the price fixing agreements that were brought in. They really did believe that they had both the ability and the right to micromanage the economy in this manner.

Only a leftist could take the "Great Depression" and make it longer and worse than it was.
