How times have changed. In WWII, Harry Truman first rose to prominence in the Senate as a fiscal watchdog. His committee examined and publicized waste in wartime spending. Truman was lauded as a protector of the taxpayers' money. As a result, he was asked to be Roosevelt's running mate in 1944. The rest is history...
