Who said desparate times call for desparate measures?
It means that when people get into trouble, for example financial trouble, they may be "backed into a corner" and feel forced to do things they wouldn't normally do in terms of survival. For example, suppose that you get lost in the woods. After a few days without food, you become desperate for a meal, and so you may find yourself eating plants, bugs, animals, fungus, etc. that you wouldn't normally eat just to survive. This portrays the meaning of the phrase "desperate times call for desperate measures" - the desperate time, or desperate situation, is that you are stuck in a forest without any normal food or means of obtaining such food; the desperate measure is the action plan you follow, namely, to eat anything that is edible until you can afford to eat normally again (i.e., when you find your way out of the woods).

Why did FDR say the only thing you have to fear is fear itself?
The only thing you have to fear is fear itself because, if the fear is strong enough, it can immobilize you, and leave you paralyzed. Some people say that fear is the strongest emotion because of this.FDR said this in 1933 and was talking about the economic depression. Depressions get worse if people are afraid to spend their money or invest. Such is the "savings paradox" of economic theory.
