Except 5 years of gov't expansion led to nothing, as most of it was erased with the 1937 "Roosevelt Recession". We did win the war, help to rebuild Europe and Japan, and as a result came out the Depression.


The interstate highway system was built under Eisenhower, not FDR.




True, but the civil rights movement didn't arise out of the government. It's not like the government was on the forefront, pushing for civil rights. It was reactionary -- a response to the call for civil rights.


But all of this is missing the point -- we can debate each presidency and assess their success in another thread. Here we're talking about which presidnet expanded gov't the most, not who had the most success as a result of the increased government.
