[Night Hides Not]

On May 9, 1939, FDR’s Treasury Secretary stated publicly “The New Deal is a failure. All we have done is spend money, without reducing the unemployment rate.” (paraphrased, but I know I’m close)

I remember the date, it was 15 years prior to the day I was born. It was in the book, The Forgotten Man, by Amity Schlaes. It’s a biography of the Great Depression.
