# Political Commentary from Judge Magazine, July 30, 1936 This page satirizes the Roosevelt administration's New Deal policies. The editorial quips criticize: **Governor Landon's slogan** ("Don't spend what you haven't got") as hypocritical—the New Deal itself practiced deficit spending. **The administration's spending**: Critics claim it gave beer to libraries, food to the hungry, jobs to Democrats, money to veterans, and "headaches to the taxpayers." **The main cartoon** depicts someone (likely a corporate figure) offering a cake labeled "Bimburg's" to two businessmen, with the caption "Let Them Eat Bimburg's Cake"—a cynical reference to Marie Antoinette's famous phrase, suggesting the wealthy were being appeased while common people suffered. The page reflects conservative opposition to FDR's 1936 re-election campaign, particularly wealthy interests' concerns about New Deal redistribution policies.
