Herbert Hoover actually said...

"Rigid economy is the real road to relief to homeowners, farmers, workers, and every element of the population."

"The reduction in governmental expenditures and the stability of Government finance is the most fundamental step that we can take to this end."

"I shall welcome any further reduction which can be made and still preserve the proper and just functioning of the Federal Government."

"Our first duty as a nation is to put our governmental house in order-national, State, and local."
