This makes sense since it was during a time period much like today when FDR started in on these unconstitutional program. Obama is doing the same.

You are exactly right Steve. One problem that exists in this country is that people thing FDR’s socialism got us out of the depression. War got us out of it and yet some still cling to that same notion that spending, even with money you don’t have, will end a recession.

Now, decision making time. Will we set here on our backsides and let this
happen or is it going to take a bit more of this to continue before we figure it out?
Some say, “what?”. and maybe there is hope for them, who knows. Others I
know are flaming mad like I am – and watching people come around. The
wallet-thing, you know.
It can be stopped….., but will we?

History repeats itself, therefore I conclude that nothing will be done about it.

I hate that statement. I’m used to doing things for myself.

The manipulator of repetitious history has already used up his chances and is clinging to his last card.. It is done and the puppets go with it…

Ya know, Tom, as much as I’ve always been against the excesses of government spending, we can hardly exist without some spending, or the government wouldn’t be able to enforce the laws or protect the country…That’s hardly the reason for the amount of spending today, but there are legitimate reasons some spending…..and that’s where the problem resides. It’s like an obese person, who knows he must eat to survive, but doesn’t have the right diet…
FDR was instrumental in pulling the country together, though. And despite his “welfare” programs, many were instrumental in putting people to WORK….which is what people wanted back then. He had the qualities of leadership that others have had no semblance of in today’s world, in that he knew in order to have respect for ourselves, we have to be productive. But probably, more importantly, he knew that we HAD to get involved in WWII, in ways the public had no idea of…and it was FDR that got us into that war…and for good reasons.But he had a hard time convincing the public of the necessity of that war even though it was justified.

It was the American people and business who brought this country back together during a time of war. It was also a time John Maynard Keynes of Britain had his hands in every financial mess this country created, mostly due to the fractional banking system lead by the Federal Reserve. As depicted in the cartoon fairly accurately, the theory held by Keynes was to spend spend spend and inflate your way out of a recession.
Most people don’t realize that since money is no longer backed up by gold but by debt, the money you have in your pocket… the green stuff.. is an IOU. In other words money was created based on someone’s ability and promise to pay it back. Your promise comes off a printing press and into the system. Then we decided to measure our wealth as a nation based on how much we owed. hahaha. Makes sense?? No.
The problem with fractional banking is that the only way to grow is to always create more debt. That is how banks prosper. But when people can’t pay it back, there is no other choice but for people like Keynes to flood the markets with more debt and IOU’s.
And as far as FDR’s entry into the war… is sketchy at best. FDR had some scary advisers in his day, same as Obama today. All in the best interest of the big world bankers. Nothing like funding a war from both sides and getting as many countries involved and lending them enormous debts that their children will pay off.
All this under leadership and bringing a country together?? Such a great campaign. It’s always under the best interest of the American people ain’t it?? bwaaaahahaha…

Your getting it Steve…I think you would enjoy Vatican Assassins – Wounded in the House of my Friends…Amazing how this banking thesis you describe has a 4500 year history of taking down nations..In this same fashion..And hi jacking them for other purposes, not in the interests of the people..Who once owned those nations..

We also have to remember that this country is being controlled by a 2 headed 1 party system. Although Democrats and Republicans argue and oppose each other on many things, at the end of the day they are both controlled by big bankers. Having controlled opposition, no matter what the people decide, and no matter what party the people elect on election day, the bankers are still in control and you will always see big government programs. The shift back and forth is a great deceptive plan, that the American people will take hook, line, and sinker every time.
America is still a great place to live and you can enjoy many of your freedoms. Although it isn’t perfect and a lot of our freedoms are being tested, it is still by far the best nation to live in still today. I am afraid if something isn’t done about the direction we are headed, this country will no longer be the best nation on Earth. The people can ultimately be in control but we have all been brainwashed into fearing the government on many levels – local, state, federal…
How did you do that, Steve??? You must have inside connections……was that “embed”?

Steve, I always used to think that FDR had the start of socialistic thinking in this country….but compared to today, his thinking was a world apart. But to tell the truth, in listening to how many Americans thought so well of him and what he did, I always considered that maybe I just didn’t understand the “tenor of the times”…For a fact, every succeeding generation in this country has been a little more “wimpy” the the last, and those times were about as rough as it gets….Even my generation has been “spoiled” by the affluence we have grown to “expect”, and even my generation seems pretty tough compared to the modern wimps of today…
Of course the people of this country brought it back from “bankruptcy”…but from all I’ve heard listening to those who lived during those times, FDR was the man who gave them jobs, and started the economy back rolling again. He was indeed a benevolent leader who had the programs started that gave us a way out of the “Great Depression”…Socialistic, yes, but needed at the time, even though that gave even more fuel to the socialistic agendas of today…(and we have enough of them now to sink the economic boat)..
