Seems like the government hasn't learned anything from the mistakes of the 1930’s, and so history will repeat itself.It pains me to sit by and watch our country implode.

...actually, all liberals might have learned from the depression & New Deal is that 1) the best time to cram a huge, incremental slug of socialism down our throats is when a big recession hits and 2) It may take a while for the economy to fully digest the slug, but the important thing is not how quickly the economy recovers, but that we successfully get it to swallow the slug. I don't doubt the smarter Dem's think this way.

Don’t you get it? There is no mistake, the communist mean to ruin our economy, they mean to bring down private industry and put the frickin’ government(the biggest asswipes that ever graced a planet)in charge. The government can do nothing right but they are going to convince th 2/3 of the voting republic that they can! We must use violence to overthrow these asshats!

I read somewhere that by 1933 the economy and the stock market were staging a comeback. Then FDR took office and snatched depression from the jaws of recovery.
