Yep. Hitler spent 3 years using Keynesian prime pumping on military spending, aided by some nifty off-balance sheet financing by Finance Minister Schacht. Only after this expansionary fiscal policy lifted a lot of boats did he march into the Rhineland.

Judge Skeptical Over Trump Administration Decision to Suspend Food Stamps

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response.

If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response.

If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

Indeed, a very exciting time. There was the brief glimmer of hope that metaphorically ended with a knife flash at Altamont., the Manson family, etc

Yep, boomer here. I remember the 1960’s very well, and I am not nostalgic for that era at all (other than the music). It was a sucky time that I have no desire to return to.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

And a feeble, old Hindenburg ( sort of the Weimar one man Supreme Court) didn’t have the energy to stop his excesses.

I would pay serious money for a Stuttering John Melendez ca. 1993 to pose this question at a press conference

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who lied about his college major, who lied about graduate work at Dartmouth, who lied about his financial disclosures, who lied that he had been a cop, who lied he was an international sex crimes expert, and who knows what else -- is now spreading lies about other politicians too.

Generally speaking, the President of the United States should not throw a woman five months pregnant into a roach infested cell causing a miscarriage.
