Franklin Roosevelt had made up the New Deal which was a government project that cost a great deal of money. It was not nearly as much as the government was needed to collect through taxes. Roosevelt went over the limit with money. His New Deal created programs that led to growth of the federal government.

A guard named Frank Wills was doing his rounds at the Watergate building and he saw the pieces of tape and took them off . When Wills returned later the tape was back again.
