“That’s Biden’s plan... have you looked at his ‘economic choices’? Biden’s following the commie hellhole path - like North Korea, Cuba, the old USSR and China. China alone lost hundreds of millions of citizens to starvation... In North Korea grandparents would starve to death to give their grandchildren a chance for a few more weeks of life. Economic pain IS the commie/totalitarian/democrat weirdo way. So please don’t go down that road. Leave that one to ‘the liberals’. History will remember - just like we know of the millions commies put to death by starvation.”

I can’t stop an economic deflation and neither can you.

So I’m not going down any road, just stating that economic contractions have changed people throughout US history.

Instead of telling horror stories about what foreign countries did or are doing.IMO a better use of time would be to study US economic history.

I’ll give you three to start with.

1) The panic of 1837
2) The long depression 1873-1893
3) The great depression

As far as communist ideologues murdering millions of people in foreign countries.
I can’t do anything about it.....it already happened and it was in foreign countries where even if I were alive during that time period .......

“I still wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”

It is interesting to note the the “long depression” coincides with the greatest surge of immigration from Europe.

My own ancestors arrived between 1890 and 1898. They immediately found employment.

They were the “Downstairs” people in the great NYC mansions, and servants in the grand hotels. Parlor maids, chauffeurs, gardeners, stable hands, etc.

Today, their descendants are CEO’s, doctors, lawyers, college professors, small business owners, stockbrokers,etc.

Many conclusions can be drawn.

It seems that bad times can lead to good times for hardworking people of faith and fortitude.

There are economic problems caused by things like the dust bowl - and economic problems caused by things like printing so much money inflation is the ONLY outcome possible.

Some disasters happen with full knowledge some were mistakes of delusional thinking. Starvation in the old USSR was caused by delusional thinking mixed with totalitarian power. Who in today’s world is insane enough to think ‘collective farming’ would work? No one.

If Biden nationalized all the farms and forced city people on them to work the fields we’d have starvation. If Biden allows five million illegals into the country it’ll cause overcrowding in our schools and a destabilized culture. It’ll also decrease wages for the working class. If Biden puts our debt higher than our GDP he could bankrupt the country. Some things are known.
