Reagan was a great president because he freed individuals and businesses from the government and allowed the economy to recover that way.
FDR was a shitty president because he encumbered everyone from his bulky federal programs that are currently the single biggest reason we have massive debt and deficits (it certainly isn't the defense budget) and will continue to do so as long as it's the government's edict to provide a baseline of riskless support for the weak, old, and infirmed. His "recovery" was thanks to a very low bottom to grow off, and a buildup for war.
