    Compared to what FDR and his fellow travelers tried to micromanage in the lead up to and duration of WWII, the "financial repression" after was minor, and we recovered and prospered because of it.

    What does one mean by "financial repression"?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Did you play the BLR YouTube?

    I've already posted where I stand regarding economics - What does more, actually posting where you stand regarding economics or posting Ron Paul is $#@!'n quack?

    I'm not nor were R. Paul, Krugman, nor Pete for that matter referring to the lead up to and during but instead after WWII, which wasn't minor.

    Yes, it was funny, but tiresome.

    What does more is the arguments posted to defend where a person stands.

    Arguing about personalities isn't very interesting.

    Again, FDR and his cronies wanted to continue the economy on a war time basis, Congress rejected that, freed up business, engage in a whole lot less "financial repression" and we revoered from a repression in no time and prospered..

    It's just another "economics" term for government intervention.

    Free bananas was the funniest part, that it took the whole YouTube to get there is my contention - the Santorum BLR YouTube is by far hands down the funniest.

    I've posted on past threads where I stand - if I wanna post Ron Paul is $#@!'n crazy or Rush Limbaugh is a fat $#@!er then that should be my prerogative and have no bearing whatsoever with where I stand given the subject of economics.
