1. Truman could really sum up Republicans in just a few choice words

“Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.”
― Harry S. Truman

3. He died almost broke.

He had lots of offers to sit on Corporate boards that would have made him a wealthy man but declined them all. To him an obvious conflict of interest. A great American and so very different from the triangulating bunch that now runs our party.
