Today's Quote

Give 'em hell, Harry.
Republicans approve of the American farmer - but they are willing to help him go broke.
They stand four-square for the American home – but not for housing.
They are strong for labor – but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights.
They favor minimum wage – the smaller the minimum wage the better.
They endorse educational opportunity for all – but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools.
They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine – for people who can afford them.
They consider electrical power a great blessing – but only when the private power companies get their rake-off.
They think the American standard of living is a fine thing – so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people.
And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.
-
~Harry S. Truman
