BUMP!
The US Department of Education was created in 1912.
Pause for a moment to ponder the influence of such a simple thing as the school lunch program’s effect on conditioning generations of Americans to expect to be fed by a faceless Big Government.
Fast forward to The current US Welfare State - - - .
That was EASY! And it only took 100 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Federal Reserve was established in 1913. Also in 1913, the 16th amendment established Congress's right to impose a Federal income tax. In 1914 WWI begins.
Coincidence?
