A refreshing breeze from a Congressman

While the “happy” crowd speaks of groth later this year and in 2010, it may be wise to remember this quote from a former Secretary-Treasurer in the 1930′s

QUOTE FROM ROOSEVELT’S BELOVED FRIEND TREASURY SECRETARY Henry Morgenthau, Jr. on May 9, 1939.  He was Roosevelt’s closest friend. The quote was from the recently published book, “New Deal or Raw Deal” by Stephen Moore:

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I’m wrong…somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…I say after eight eyars of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started….And an enormous debt to boot!”
