The farm lobby has been a disaster. Infrastructure investment, sure, but the massive subsidies, the creation of the CIA, IMF, World Bank? Seriously? Both Roosevelts were catastrophic, but Teddy was only a foreign policy catastrophe (unless you count his cover-up of the sinking of the Maine before his presidency a domestic catastrophe), FDR was a domestic and foreign policy catastrophe.
