Henry Morgenthau, Jr. quotes

“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 am wrongsomebody 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 promisesI say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we startedAnd an enormous debt to boot!”

The transition will not be dramatic, but a gradual one. People will still cling to national symbols.”
-- Henry Morgenthau, Jr. -
