The crisis [the Great Depression] discovered a great man in Franklin Roosevelt...None too soon he has carried America forward to the second stage of democratic realization. His New Deal involves such collective controls of the national business that it would be absurd to call it anything but socialism, were it not for a prejudice lingering on from the old individualist days against that word...Both Roosevelt and Stalin were attempting to produce a huge, modern, scientifically organized, socialist state, the one out of a warning crisis and the other out of a chaos.

Them legislators set up there at Austin and don't do nothing but makes laws against kerosene oil and schoolbooks being brought into the state.

[That's] $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic.
