until after Hoover intervened for a couple years. Give it time. Then the depression did not end until the war ended (how could anyone believe conscription, fire bombing and atomic bombs count as recovery.) Both the planners' intervention and the war are not required to recover now. Campaign for Liberty

Enough Republicans in congress understood that any plan Bush would sign would be worse than the status quo. There are never enough free-marketers to produce legislation that will not enhance the state. Campaign for Liberty

Maybe the stock market is UP because Obamacare and Cap&Tax are DEAD?

Give it a break. Smart and snarky is not being helpful, except to your own purse. There is a better way to make use of the platform you have earned.

The senate does not have 60 Democrats now.
Do you actually get paid for this insight?

did NOT lead to 1929. The depression of 1929 required the FED. Beginning after the recovery had begun, the FED inflated the money supply and created the boom that became the Great Depression. The 1920s contain two lessons, what to do (government should do less and allow the market to make the corrections) AND what NOT to do (just about everything done after 1921.)

Read chapter 5 in America's Great Depression by Murray Rothbard. Government and the FED never get anything right.

The error or fallacy in economic understanding is not looking at the consequence of a policy over all individuals (and groups) over a long term. Any government solution will make the problem worse for more people over time. The solution is less government and more liberty and freedom for individuals. The market would resolve the malinvestments if ever given the opportunity. Prices are higher and supplies are lower since 1965 because of the governments interference.

Government is not the solution. Government is the problem. SSDD.

Not news and not a new opinion.
George was doing better when describing the choices in Afghanistan.

Rachel,
You get paid for "producing" this drivel?
