On May 15th, 1939, FDR's Treasury Secretary Henry Morganthau stated publicly,

We have tried spending money. We are spending more money than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just none interest, and if I am wrong . . . somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job, I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started . . . . And an enormous debt to boot!

Instead, we get Brian Deese extolling the Liberal World Order. Doesn't anyone in DC know anything about American History?

O/t, but that speech was made exactly 15 years before I was born.

Thank you. I had not heard/read that before from FDRs financial advisors. Gives me something to look for against FDRs liberal qhitewashing tales.

Yes, decades before Twitter FDR was being praised by his media for his use of the latest in “social media” (the new radio) to talk directly to the public in his frequent Fireside Chats.
