Or perhaps he is even too brave to do that. but merely closes the curtain so that the cold and the hungry will not see within the clubroom. and will build up unhealthy resentments. Corrective recession. indeed. Mr. President. let the banker try his optimism out on the unemployed. on the GI emerging from college and looking for a job. on the old man laid off because industry no longer requires marginal employables. Let him stop the jalopies on the highway. and tell our migrant laborers that this is merely a corrective recession. Let him tell that to the small businessman. who is forced into bankruptcy. and who watches in anguish while his life savings and his business prestige dissolve in despair. Corrective.
