Good point.
Who would have thought we would see what Mises described as Socialism on the German Model actually implemented in the United States.
On the other hand, one might argue that this outcome was inevitable once the constraints the Founder's placed on the national government were destroyed. Gee thanks Mr. Lincoln.
Personally I agree with the comparisons between Lincoln and Obama. Both were willing to destroy the Republic in order to save the Union. For Obama it was merely the UAW, for Lincoln it was the whole enchilada. By my reckoning this makes Abe the bigger tyrant.
LOL!
