A Quote for Today

Here is a quote from Alan Brinkley’s The End of Reform: New Deal Liberalism in Recession and War:

The most powerful challenges to the New Deal in the 1930s had come not from capitalists decrying their lost prerogatives, but from middle-class (and even, at times, working-class) men and women in communities throughout the United States fearful that the growing federal bureaucracy would limit their freedom and autonomy. [p. 160]

That sounds oddly familar.
