“As I look upon Bonneville Dam today, I cannot help the thought that instead of spending, as some nations do, half their national income in piling up armaments and more armaments for purposes of war, we in America are wiser in using our wealth on projects like this which will give us more wealth, better living and greater happiness for our children.”
I never liked #fdr but this is solid. I only wish the current line of presidents were as thoughtful for the future of the country.
