QUOTE OF THE DAY….From Rep. Steve Austria (R–Ohio), explaining that FDR’s deficit spending in 1933 was responsible for an event that began in 1929:
“When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That’s just history.”
