President Carter faced high unemployment, high inflation, high interest rates, international "stagflation" and an oil shortage to mention a few items.
Answer:
Roosevelt was accused of Bolshevism by his opponents, and many anti-crisis methods were sharply criticized. They criticized the direction of the New Deal against business; many rightly believed that the new policy hampered the restoration of the economic system. Despite all efforts, unemployment continued to increase: if it were not for the increase in salary costs caused by the New Deal, the unemployment rate in the country as of 1940 would be lower by 8 percentage points.
Ordinary citizens were directly affected by the increase in alcohol duties and wage deductions for social security. Roosevelt further increased the tax burden by raising income tax for individuals and legal entities, excise taxes, property taxes and donated property. He introduced undistributed profit tax. All these ‘requisitions’ led to a reduction in the amount of money that entrepreneurs could spend on expanding production and creating new jobs.

Answer for the second
'Released from foreign war, we would probably be plunged into all the misery of anarchy and intestine war. Can we suppose that the people of the south, would submit to having the seat of Empire at Philadelphia, or New England; or that the people oppressed by a change of government, contrasting their misery with their former happy state, would not invite Britain to reassume the sovereignty.” — James Chalmers, Plain Truth, 1776
If the one above is the argument, you might consider that the colonists did obtain independence from England. That by itself was something that Chalmers always thought to be impossible without serious repercussions. He used to say that in the case of achieving freedom, America would just end up being attacked and maybe even colonized by some other country. What happened, thought, was that after the revolution, other countries gained respect for America as an opponent and the country was eventually left to be.
