> because he was receiving pressure from conservatives in Congress (and even from ardent New Dealers in his own cabinet I'm not sure what your point is. FDR HIMSELF wanted a balanced budget. Morgenthau wanted it, as did others, but FDR wanted it. Conservatives in congress had zero to do with it. Of course, everyone wants a balanced budget. Oh wait.....you do as well...don't you? In any case a balanced budget was the only palatable talking point the Rs had back then......sort of like now....so they used it. Didn't do them any good......FDR got re elected a couple of more times.....and they slowed the nation's recovery from the depression. Republicans: part of the problem, not the solution.
