“Look to the past to see the future....” is something I learned in my youth, and always thought it made sense. History repeats.
Wondering why we elect politicians that have no knowledge of history.
Thanks again jaz. Appreciate the pings to Dr. Sowell, and to Lt. Col. Oliver North.
Excellent point, rqsr.
It may be that the majority do have a knowledge of history but choose to ignore it pandering to voters by saying they're doing something about the problem. Of course they don't say that doing something is far worse in many cases than doing nothing, they're thinking of nothing but their next election.
On the prior article I have no doubt Dr. Sowell is warning people big time that the unemployment numbers won't keep Obama from being reelected.
FDR had to die to leave the WH and Obama is using FDR's playbook to a tee on this economic mess. I believe we'll be hearing a lot more from Sowell on this.
