Very true.

In this regard, Obammie the Commie is more like FDR than most are aware.

Hoover tried to inflate and centrally manage his way out of a fairly mild recession. It created a bubble, as it always does.

FDR ridiculed Hoover’s policies, made “Hoovervilles” the centerpiece of his campaign, and won the election.

He then adopted all of Hoover’s economic policies but put them on steroids, causing the Great Depression.

In all of this, Obammie the Commie has followed FDR down the same destructive path.

The difference this time around, though:
1. We no longer have the manufacturing capacity to “produce” our way out of this depression.
2. We no longer have the credit rating needed to “borrow” our way out of this depression, which never works anyway but rather makes the hangover all that much worse.
3. Our dollar no longer has the reputation that it once had and the world is trying to move away from it.

Anyone with a basic understanding of economics and history cannot honestly conclude that either those currently in charge (and those pulling their strings) are either the dumbest cadre of dunces any government has ever seen or that they are all causing the destruction of the American economy deliberately.
