Quote of the Day (Harry Truman, on Why ‘The People Are Responsible for the Government They Get’)

“The country has to awaken every now and then to the fact that the people are responsible for the government they get. And when they elect a man to the presidency who doesn’t take care of the job, they’ve got nobody to blame but themselves.”—U.S. President Harry S. Truman (1884-1972), in Where the Buck Stops: The Personal and Private Writings of Harry S. Truman, edited by ‎Margaret Truman (2015)
