The Forgotten Man
"But Roosevelt systemized interest group politics more generally to include many constituents - labor, senior citizens, farmers, union workers... It is no coincidence that the first peacetime year in American history in which federal spending out paced the total spending of the states and towns was that election year of 1936. It can even be argued that one year -1936 - created the modern entitlement challenge that so bedevils both parties.
Roosevelt's move was so profound that it changed the English language. Before the 1930's, the word "liberal" stood for the individual; afterward, the phrase increasingly stood for groups. Roosevelt also changed economics forever. Roosevelt happened on an economic theory that validated his politics and his moral sense: what we now call Keynesianism. Keynesianism, named after John Maynard Keynes, emphasized consumers, who were also voters. The theory gave license for perpetual experimentation - at least as Roosevelt and his administration applied it."
Thus free government stuff was born
