Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Whenever you start to get a wages and hours bill, the Congressman for that particular district gets a piteous plea, 'For God's sake don't do anything or you won't go back to Congress.'"

"I have been getting along with a perfectly inefficient machine for five years, and I can do it for the next three and one-quarter years."

"That is the kind of thing that we are trying to eliminate, and that is all."

"I think that is a pretty narrow view to take."
