The biggest robbery in history!
Letter to our Congresscritters;If your bank were about to go under, would you go rob other banks in town for the money to strengthen it?No. You're a Member of Congress. You would never commit armed robbery. Instead, you VOTE a robbery. And who would you vote to rob? The entire population. Only there's not enough money among all of us for that. So you vote to rob our children and our grandchildren, too!
“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.”
“This is the way we always do it.”
“This is an emergency.”
“This is for the good of the nation.”
“The mortgage outfit is too big to fail.”
Your cohorts spent generations putting the fatal pressure on the mortgage outfits by forcing them to lend money to people who could not possibly pay it back -- and to lend money on houses in areas you wouldn't dare to drive thru -- even during daylight hours.
What did anybody THINK would happen?
As near as I understand, the House narrowly voted down the biggest robbery in all of history. Therefore the Money-Boys leaned on y’all to vote on it again and again until you would give them what they wanted.
Italian Fascism showed us what happens when you intertwine government with enterprise. Now that YOU have done it on this gargantuan scale, you should go around apologizing to regular Fascists.

How nations ruin themselves
National suicide
Letter to the editor;
Looking at the history of the world, some historians have concluded that all great nations die by suicide.
How do nations commit suicide?
They borrow more than they can possibly pay back. Then they borrow yet more.
They engage in wars that do not directly concern them.
They pour tremendous sums into trying to buy foreign friends – and end up supporting the treasuries of rabid enemies.
They try to police the world.
They let in more immigrants than they can assimilate.
They let people immigrate who have no intention of becoming loyal citizens.
They make treaties undermining the nation and tying it to foreign governments.
Worse than all the idiocies by the government, the people lose their faith, their virtue and their sense of being one united people. This is what permits the rest.
(No. No. I’m not talking about our own country here. Um, ah, this is about all those OTHER ruined hulks of former nations in the dust-bin of history.)
We should only learn something from their example already.
