“This is a speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt during his reelection campaign in 1936. It’s sounds like a perfect sarcastic description of the political gamble being played with common people’s lives, that is still going on these days as well…”
We need the courage of the young. Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you. May every one of us be granted the courage, the faith and the vision to give the best that is in us to that remaking!

Then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy and future president Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Brooklyn Navy Yard 100 years ago today. FDR had also visited two years earlier in 1914, inspecting the ill-fated battleship USS Arizona.
Let me warn you, and let me warn the nation, against the smooth evasion that says ‘Of course we believe these things. We believe in social security. We believe in work for the unemployed. We believe in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die.
'We believe in all these things. But we do not like the way that the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them, we will do more of them, we will do them better and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything’
