The liberal establishment is labeling the current credit crunch and WallSt crisis as another great depression. Now its up to Franklin Delano Obama to save America.

And all that FDR did was prolong the depression by about 7 years with his "New Deal" crapola. FDR was just a socialist. FDO is an out and out Marxist/Communist. We ain't seen nothin' yet folks. Hang on...

The New Deal was a psychological bandaid that FDR employed to cover up his inability to properly address terrible economic times.

It was dumb decision when the Feds raised the top tax rates in 1932, from 25% to 63%, with unemployment was at 23.6%. Things started picking up a wee bit by the mid-1930s. Unemployment was at 16.9% in 1936. That ended in 1936 when FDR decided to increase the top tax rates from 63% to 79% and onto 81% by 1940. In 1938 unemployment was at 19%. As the US started to ramp up manufacturing for WWII and our allies, unemployment dropped to 14.6% in 1940, 4.7% in 1942 and 1.2% in 1944.

Thanks to Hitler, Mussolini and Japan, happy days were here again! LOL

I’m thinking, “Truer words may have never been spoken”.

Plus, many of his proposed appointees have much further leftwing ideals than they have previously been allowed to act upon. Now they will be able to show who they really are.

Hang on, folks. Rough ride ahead.
