We understand why the Great Depression lasted so long - the Ivory Tower crowd?

...not so much.  Watch this video about Obama repeating FDR's mistake. Lessons from history? That's the rub - they're lost on the arrogant. Or maybe not, if you truly want to ruin a nation.

+ Many

Have read the book, Meltdown, and dread the effect of the Government's draining resources from where they will speed the recovery and flushing them down the toilet that caused the problems.

 Interesting, but it isn't news to me, I've been saying for a year now that BO was repeating FDR's mistakes.

What I find interesting is the left doesn't think his mistakes were mistakes.

This current bunch doesn't care if they were mistakes or not.  They are intent upon reducing or eliminating the things that make America exceptional.  It's tough to believe that an American president would intentionally injure the electorate.  But this guy is an Alinsky tool and Jeremiah Wright is his mentor.  He is not out to help us in any way.  Exactly the opposite is the observed reality.

So when I sit here shaking my head and asking myself how they can be so stupid, the answer is   They are not.

I forget the guys name, but FDR's first treasury Secretary admitted that the things they had done were counter productive.
This is nothing new, it was known 60+ years ago .
The thing to remember is that the objective is NOT to fix the economy, the goal is to use the economic problems to increase Government control of the economy by taking over the means of production, initially by increasing government control of banks which supply the financing for expansion and materials.
They are creeping toward the type of planned economy that failed in the USSR.
