    When was this placed on Congressional record?

    (Statements of Dr. William Wirt, XXd Congress, 2nd Session, April 10 and 17, XXXX

    I was told they believe that by thwarting our then evident economic recovery they would be able to prolong the country’s destitution until they had demonstrated to the American people that the Government must operate business and commerce. By propaganda they would destroy institutions making long-term capital loans—and then push Uncle Sam into making these loans. Once Uncle Sam becomes our financier he must also follow his money with control and management.

    He also said:

    “Brain Trusters” insist that the America of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln must first be destroyed so that on the ruins they will be able to construct an America after their own pattern. They do not know that the America of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln was the real New Deal for the common man. They wish to put the common man back into the feudal society of the Dark Ages

    guess i had the wrong william wirt. i was wandering what people and economic recovery he could have been referring to in the 1820's.

    so you were referring to the wirt that criticized the new deal in the 1930's? that makes a LOT more sense.
