Henry Morganthau to Congress, May 1939:

"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 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 years of this Administration we have just as much
unemployment as when we started ... And an enormous debt to boot!"*

Schuster, 2008), p. 2.
