Here’s part of the record: It appropriated almost Twenty Billion DeOais of the public’s money. It boosted the Federal debt to Thirty-four BUHon Dollars—accord ing to statisticians, an all-time high. It passed numerous acts which the Supreme Court has decided vio late the Constitution. It greatly increased the number of appointed boards and bureaus and committees which so frequently in vade the people’s rights. It engaged la many other activ Itlm myiui commendable, note But to the great majority of American workers and earners, the new reoords readied in mending public funds and in ttnkartngwlth our Constitutional rights represent the most significant of recent Con gressional activities. Why? Federal funds, it’s _ ear masMy. We, the dig it up. When Congress boosts the Federal debt, it's actually boosting ear debta. We, the people, have to meet both principal and Interest.
