My great grandfather soured on FDR when he saw cattle killed to reduce herds without preserving the meat for consumption. Farmers were paid to kill the livestock and bury it.

It was done to RAISE prices..... during a DEPRESSION! Talk about not being the sharpest tack in the wall.

Yep, they called it “price stabilization”.

Pure crap, when there were many hungry people. Total nonsense. Egghead Nonsense.

Some of my ancestors were literally burned out of AL during Reconstruction for resisting that oppression. 2 paid with their lives.

The rest went GTT, like many others.

Other of my ancestors were already in TX. One was born in TX during the Republic.

You never erase memories like those. Not since that time have we had such a totally corrupt and dishonest Federal Government.

I bristle every time I think about the similarities. Sobering.
