What’s the Second Coming of FDR Without a Depression?

We have 41 million on food stamps, that is modern version of a soup line. There are only 80 million households in the US.

Exactly! I say this all the time to whomever will listen: Food stamps are today's soup lines equivalent. The ignorant American public at large doesn't see actual soup lines of hungry people on TV, and a food stamp statistic just doesn't carry the same visceral impact.

So yeah, we ARE in a depression. With California already insolvent and paying vendors with worthless IOUs, how long do we think Big Brother can continue the charade?

I believe Kansas is also paying using IOUs.

Democrats want this country to collapse with them in charge. Shortly after 9/11, the dim media was all in a tizzy because bill clinton wasn’t in power when the attack happened. And the reason was that he would have an opportunity to shine. Just flat out sick.
