Guys, he’s talking simple American HISTORY here. How about giving foundational history a chance??
Oh, please. He’s blaming the Great Depression on tariffs, rather than rampant speculation on margin. Not history. Ideology. Levin was wrong, wrong, wrong, and cherry-picking history in order to support his error doesn’t change the fact that he was and still is in error.
How about living today?
Even Reagan doesn’t fit Levin’s idea of the perfect candidate
Kevin has all the endearing attributes of an o,d school marm
History yes. Levin NO!
This is not history. It is globalist propaganda.
If he actually read history, for example Carroll Quigley, he would understand that the GD was caused by a demented effort of world bankers to revert to the pre-1913 exchange rates for gold.
Almost every country involved in WWI had to depart radically from those rates, so EXTREME DEFLATIONARY measures were attempted.
The U.S. unfortunately joined the U.K in this effort, annihilating much of our banking system and grinding the velocity of money (rate of transactions through the economy) to grind to a halt.
It was the BANKERS, stupid.
He is the controled opposition who outed himself.
Evidently we are all antisemitism now.
Get off the air ya big globalist dope.
I don’t care if he was glowingly pontificating about the greatness of me, Levin is still and will always be dead to me.
Nonsense. Mark Levin lost all credibility when he jumped the shark on presidential eligibility. He basically proved he has rejected or just doesn't understand natural law, the true foundation of American law.
His entire essay is just a smear of Donald J. Trump, insinuating that he is a National Socialist. Just another media jew calling Trump a Nazi. He has lost the argument.
“Guys, he’s talking simple American HISTORY here. “
You mean like what he wrote on tariffs?
Mark had never heard of the Fordney-McCumber tariff of 1922 until it was brought to his attention here at FR; and he’s no smarter now than he was then: far from creating a trade war as he claims it accompanied the booming Roaring 20s economy.
The Smoot-Hawley tariff was enacted into law a full year after the onset of the Great Depression; so does “historian” Levin believe that cause and effect can run backwards? Of course not, what it means is that he has never done any real study of the Depression and he just repeats whatever canard he finds useful in his war on Trump, tariffs causing depression in this case.
Authentic economic historians Milton Friedman, Anna Schwartz and Joseph Schumpeter, as opposed to hack amateur Levin the lawyer, agree that the Great Depression was caused by a collapse in the American banking system due to the Fed’s failure to act as lender of last resort and sitting idle while one third of the American money supply evaporated. Tariffs cannot cause a deflation like this, but then Levin isn’t educated in this field and doesn’t know anything about it. He counts on the fact that 99% of the reading public won’t know any more of this dry arcane history than he does, and will believe whatever crap he writes about it.
