Letter: Roosevelt's reaction
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: John Major appears to be breaking out, but is there any hope that he will really buck the system in order to dig this country out of the depression? His role model, George Bush, is taking a leaf out of Harry Truman's book. May I suggest the Prime Minister follow the lead given by Franklin Roosevelt?
During the Depression in the Thirties, he invested government funds in his country's infrastructure, created jobs and proved his observation that 'there is nothing to fear but fear itself'. The people of Great Britain are now deeply scared of the future. They will continue to be so while the Government dithers and adheres to policies that fail to provide the answer to our problems.
