There's a big push this last year or so to piss all over FDR's legacy (though opposition to the New Deal has always been a cornerstone of conservatism), saying that he wasted all that money on poor people, instead of spending it on battleships. Only THE WAR (yay!) managed to undo the damage, saving the economy through the power of manly manliness. Welfare spending is for women and poofs.
It burns them that massive government spending got America out of the hole, but at least they can console themselves with the knowledge that the money was spent on killing people, and not on helping them. That makes them feel better. Strange people.
