Don't tell me...Tell Biden who made this comment when being addressed about the current financial situation as it compared to the great depression.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’”

One other point you missed Eric...FDR was elected in 1932 and the market crashed in 1929 which gave way to the depression in the 30's.
