My friend Gordon collected/selected the following quotes. It is such a good, coherent collection that I couldn’t separate them back out. They just work too well together to do it that injustice. “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, November 23, 1933, in a letter to Colonel Edward Mandell House […] Initially I only published this at my local blog, but just realized it is repeating in towns small and large all across the USA and abroad. The local tiny-town weekly reports an outstanding debt of $18,000 in the school lunch program. Next month the school board will consider a proposal to sell that debt to a collection agency. They, in turn, will add 1/3rd to it and start working the parents over to pay off their ‘enhanced bills’. Unsurprisingly, I find some things wrong with this.
