Wow GenSeneca those are some very good posts. Thank you.

Government helped cause the Great Depression and then it's actions prolonged it. Yet, the left continues to claim it was uncontrolled capitalism that caused it and of course, it was all the fault of the Rs who failed to intervene. But, the truth is Hoover was a huge interventionist and then FDR made it much worse.

The similarities to what has occurred the past few years are striking. The government helped cause the housing bubble and is now making it worse. They also helped cause the meltdown on Wall Street by repealing much of Glass-Steagall and failing to perform their regulatory function. To say nothing of the corruption on the part of both party's politicians to enrich themselves.

And, some think the government running our health care system will be an improvement. Crazy!!!
