1 grass will grow in the streets
ист, полит"зарастут травою улицы"Угроза финансовых неурядиц в случае избрания политического соперника, выбора альтернативного курса. Впервые прозвучала в ходе избирательной кампании 1932, когда кандидат на пост президента Г. Гувер [ Hoover, Herbert Clark], за неделю до выборов заявил, защищая тариф Смута-Холи [ Smoot-Hawley Tariff], что, если будет принят тариф, предлагаемый демократами, то "Зарастут травою улицы сотен городов, и тысяч городишек" ["The grass will grow in the streets of a hundred cities, a thousand towns"]. В 1936 Ф. Д. Рузвельт [ Roosevelt, Franklin Delano (FDR)] напомнил об этом пророческом изречении с иронией: "Я все ищу траву, которая должна была вырасти на улицах городов" ["I look for the grass which was to grow on city streets"].English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > grass will grow in the streets
