Quote by James Roosevelt
It is really quite amazing that all of the folks supporting privatization, from the president on down, keep invoking the name of my grandfather, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Summary
This quote suggests irony in how advocates of privatization, including the president, often refer to Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) despite his legacy of supporting progressive policies and being instrumental in establishing various social programs. The speaker finds it astonishing that those encouraging privatization seem to appropriate FDR's name to legitimize their stance, despite his documented efforts to expand governmental support for the public good. The quote implies a critical tone towards the contradictory nature of invoking FDR's name in a context seemingly contradictory to his ideologies.
