On the Fact that the Democratic Party Platform in 1932 Advocated a 25% Reduction in Federal Expenditures AND FDR CAMPAIGNED ON THIS!!!!!

It's true. Roosevelt and his running-mate, John Nance Garner, essentially took turns lambasting Hoover for his deficit/wasteful spending, insane levels of taxation, destructive tariff policies, and even went as far as to say that Hoover was leading the country down the road to socialism. Talk about a bait and switch, huh (the fact that FDR did a total 180 and turned into Hoover on steroids and as a result the Depression lasted until 1945; WW2 only masking it)?.........................................................................................................Directly from the 1932 Democratic platform - "We advocate an immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance to accomplish a saving of not less than twenty-five per cent in the cost of the Federal Government."
