"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Cliches of Progressivism #32 – FDR Was Elected in 1932 on a Progressive Platform to Plan the Economy
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-11-25 01:00
“Who campaigned for a 'drastic' reduction of 25 percent in federal spending, a balanced federal budget, a rollback of government intrusion into agriculture, and restoration of a sound gold currency? Roosevelt did. … FDR’s running mate, John Nance Garner, even declared that Hoover 'was leading the country down the road to socialism.'” FDR must have decided that road was fine, as long as he was in charge.
