“This is the crowd that wants power rather than recovery- the crowd that for twelve years was in power, that tried the very policies which ended in the greatest smash in our economic history; the crowd that willed this administration a debt of 20 billions and a demoralized, prostrate country; yet they have the sublime audacity to propose that we go back to the very policies which wrecked the country.”
Marriner S. Eccles, Memo to FDR, December 1935
