I only partially agree with this. Their big wins have been when the Supreme Court makes up laws, e.g., Roe v Wade and the pervert marriage law. Also, their power comes from a press that lives on selective distortion and omission.
And see my previous quote from "The Russian Revolution".
No, I believe my statement still stands. These are effects, not causes. Fed.gov massive spending and massive debt support both of the powerful interest groups and the political structure of the nanny state and permanent bureaucracy who thrive on these issues. Planned Parenthood did not appear overnight - they became a powerhouse over the last 50 years, especially after the start of the welfare state.
I am a sound-money believer. A printed, fiat currency, with manipulated interest rates, and with massive debt it enables will always benefit statist/collectivist schemes and centralized power and coercion.
