[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Roosevelt likely felt justified in cutting federal spending in 1937 because the New Deal programs had already achieved some success in increasing production, wages, and profits, which may have led him to believe that the economy was on a path to recovery. Additionally, Congress was raising concerns about the growing federal deficit, and the Supreme Court was threatening to end some of his key programs. Finally, there may have been some public fatigue with the continuous implementation of new government programs, prompting Roosevelt to consider scaling back spending.
