Sources are great.

Read the rest of my post. Learn what the word “intended” means. Understand how “intended” doesn’t mean successfully implemented. Understand that by stating “it wasn’t intended” is false.

Is english your first language? I can simplify it for you if the language is a challenge

Only a fool determines intent based solely on what someone says, espically a politician. Blindly believing that FDR intended minimum wage to be a living wage because he said so but somehow couldn’t get a living wage passed is impressively naive. The National Industrial Recovery Act passed the House 329-80 & senate 60-26, he had the votes for 0.35 per hour but didn’t do it.

Yeah, we both are. Your argument is that FDR said it so it must be true, mine is what he did contradicts what he said.

Remember the old adage actions speak louder than words. FDR had the support to implement a living wage but implemented minimum wage instead.
