Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The Congress must realize that unless the existing control over farm prices is strengthened, we must abandon our efforts to stabilize wages and salaries and the cost of living."

"It is not necessary for me to enumerate again the disastrous results of a runaway cost of living."

"The Nation must have more money to run the war."

"We are determined that no group shall suffer a shrinkage of its normal quota of basic necessities because some richer group can buy all the available supply at high prices."
