In 1939, ten years after the crash on Wall Street, the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the House Ways and Means Committee:

"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!"
I lived through this entire period. In 1939 I worked an 11 hour day for $2.50. I was cropping tobacco and I worked alongside three adults who were paid $3.00. And I was furious he cut my pay because I was 9 years old, not because I did less work.
