Herbert Hoover actually said...

"Our people must realize that Government cannot continue to live in a depression upon the scale that was possible in times of great prosperity."

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

"The developments of the past week should give great assurances to the country."

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