Yes he had those leanings. He reacted to what the Federal Reserve did in creating the depression. Congressman Charles Lindberg Sr, said about the Federal Reserve
"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President
[Wilson} signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized....
the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."
-- Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. , 1913
And he foretold the future
"From now on, depressions will be scientifically created."
- Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. , 1913
As far as security goes, America's sercurity is the 2nd Ammendment to the Constitution copyright @1791
As far as food and shelter goes, America took care of her own just fine until big brother stepped in. Gee what are people going to do? Be responsable. I would be willing to give more to charities of my own accord, except that the biggest welfare recipient, the government takes too much as it is.
This is the main cause and effect of our present situation.

Note – From 1913 until now inflation of the dollar has been 2950%. A 1913 dollar would now be worth $.034. When I became a wage earner in 1950 I could buy a full breakfast, eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, shortstack, juice, and coffee for $.39. This morning I paid $9.60 for the same, an inflation of 2460%]

A good read on the subject is The Creature from Jekyll Island.
Privately owned Central Banking has been ruining America since 1913. And it will continue to do so, until it is stopped the way Andrew Jackson did in the 1830's. When the monetary system is based on value, instead of debt, there is plenty work to be had, and costs in turn decrease. There is less taxation, and better representation since the elected officials are there to serve the people, not those who bought their election.
The New Deal was communist in nature. Roosevelt was intrigued with it.
Woodrow Wilson initiated it, Franklin Roosevelt shifted it into high gear and it hasn't slowed since.
