I • of . unbridled public spending by
! an Administration which was ori-
! J gfnally elected on an economy
platform. Many will remember
: Candidate Roosevelt's stirring
i speech at Pittsburgh in 1932:
I "Many a nation has been wrecked
on the rocks of loose fiscal'policy;
I we must av,oid that danger!” That
M ' I candidate, as President, has. spent
$50,000,000,000 and has collected
$30.000,000,000 in taxes. This has
i given his “economy” Administra-
tion a net deficit of $20,000,000,000
as its contribution in piloting us
’ off the shoals of fitfflfTcial disaster.
