Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"After all, that is one of the things that Government is intended to do, to think not in terms of just this year and the next, but, for the good of the people, to think for many long years ahead."

"It is going to take a number of years to do; but I think the people of this country want stability and security in their economy."

"I use this word 'security' not in the narrower sense of old-age pensions and of unemployment insurance, fine as these objectives are."

"There is no question, also, that our objective of a greater stability of prices for crops is something that the whole Nation not only needs, but wants."
