WTF - no George HW Bush?
FDR's "New Deal" turned what had been a Pretty Big Depression into the Great Depression. The only "money" that his face should be on is every single dollar of the current budget deficit.
Thank God no one has voted for JFK.

Lol, FDR didn't even invoke Keynesian economics until after the 1937 recession - which was instigated by balancing the budget. To claim FDR/Keynesianism didn't work is to claim that Nazi Germany and the US didn't get out of the depression using war spending.
FDR pretty much defines the modern Democratic and Republican Party. Even if thinking outside of economics, his influence on racial matters (through his wife and friends' suggestion) is what opened up DC to radical change within only 20 years.
FDR should be on the new $50.
