If this is true, they're not even being subtle about it anymore.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Financial czars arbitrarily invalidating contracts? Sounds like it'll get crushed in the courts."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."Comment

Why is Snyder doing this? Let it all burn. This is what centralization and wealth redistribution brings. This entire experiment was doomed from it's inception. Eventually, the treasuries of both the states and the federal government will be raided by special interests, which the founding fathers prophesied. That's what is transpiring. We have the labor parasites. The defense contractors. The lawyers. The wall street cabal. It's an simply unsustainable system.Comment

Well, you do have to remember that these are the worst economic times since the great depression.Originally posted by eldiablo505
Lots of crazy political stuff happened back in the 30's too. Of course back then all that stuff expanded the reach of government. I guess the rubberband is snapping back.

It was the aftermath of the great war not FDR. In 1932, he inherited over 11 million citizens who were unemployed. 8 years later after an orgy of spending, that number remained relatively unchanged.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostComment

That's so wrong its funny. Both ends of the sentence. FDR did almost nothing to pull the economy out of the Depression. Time did that. FDR generated activity while normal forces did the work.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post
The Conservatives were proven right on this one. Only time will heal.
