Suddenly hit me what one of their games is. Claim we have free-market economy when we don’t, then when their fascist theories utterly fail, say it was the free market that failed. Voila, more fascist control.
We used to have a free market. Worked pretty well.
But the First Progressives, around 1900, came in and said that more government intervention would be a good thing.
Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, they introduced a lot of Social Welfare.
Then FDR gave us the New Deal with big time government takeover of the economy.
Then LBJ gave us the Great Society, which was a disaster.
At this point, we were very far from a Free Market economy. there was so much Socialism in our economy that they started praising it as a "Mixed Economy".
But things got worse and worse. Under Clinton, and under Bush, we got weaker and weaker. That Mixed Economy just was not humming along.
Then, when it all collapsed, and Obama came into office, the Pundits finally admitted the truth -- "The Mixed Economy has failed!"
And the conclusion was: Too much Capitalism. Not enough Socialism. Let's not mix 'em because the Capitalism will spoil everything. Let's just fix it all with pure Socialism!!!
