History Repeats

Don’t think for a minute that this economic crisis is something new, or even that the approach by our government is a new one. This is not new ground at all, but certainly not the worst place our economy has ever been. It just might be the worst response though. Even at the worst of the great depression, the government did not own banks or get very involved in salary or other corporate decisions. The shouldn’t have then, they shouldn’t now. This cartoon from 1934 pretty much says it all.
