How This Happened
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
*** begin quote ***
Will this go on for ten years like the last time? Will it end in World War III, as if following some historical script? Is it possible that we will go the way of Germany in the 1920s, straight into the abyss of hyperinflation and into the hands of a ghastly dictator? It is unwise to rule it out.
And yet, I’m not that pessimistic. It is extremely crucial to realize that there is a difference this time. In the 1930s, technological limits put severe restrictions on information delivery. Government propaganda easily dominated the culture. All of that has changed. Despite everything, people simply do not trust the government as they once did. Obama will enjoy a short honeymoon but it will be over by summer.

I’m not so sure. I think Hannity got it right when I heard him say something like: ” … It’s not that these programs get passed. It’s that it’s impossible to kill them. They get a life of their own.”
Look at the Income Tax impoverishing us.
Look at the Social Security Ponzi scheme unraveling.
Look at the Medicare socializing medicine.
Look at the TSA “teaching” us to be “sheeple”.
Look at the double whammy of the monopoly in banking represented by the “Federal Reserve Bank” which is a private cartel of bankers with some lipstick pretending to be answerable to the gooferment. Double! It permitted the NIJA (no income no job no paperwork no hope of being repaid.) mortgages, that it could have prevented with the stroke of a pen on a regulation like short stock. (Requiring a 50% down for the privilege of having ZERO paperwork. Would have ended that REAL quick!) It manipulated interest rates and inflate the currency that allowed the congresscritters to spend wilily nelly with impose a hidden tax on all holders of dollar bills. (That ignited the run up in oil prices. Sadam got knocked off because he dared to suggest to OPEC that oil be paid for in gold. Right idea; wrong to be right when the biggest force in the world is wrong!)
No, I’m not so optimistic how this all ends up!
