This email took it a step further.
Obama must have seen this and is taking it literally.
FYI THIS IS ALSO VERY SCARY!!! Sound familiar??!!
Cartoon from 1934
This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934. Look carefully at the 'Plan of Action' in the lower left corner.
"Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it."
The date on the lower right corner is probably from a reprint. But, yes, during the days of the new deal, many folks were declaring that government spending and new social programs would end life in the United States as we know it.
Let's see how accurate these predictions were.
Money spent on recovery - check. Plenty of "make work" programs were created.
Government bankrupted - Nope. Still had money to fight World War II, which was even more expensive than any "recovery" spending.
Constitution junked - Nope. It's still there, and still the law of the land.
Dictatorship declared - Nope. As of this writing, the government is still arguing about the debt ceiling. There is definitely no dictator in charge.
We've joined the Soviet Republic - Oh, wait. They aren't even around anymore.
Seems to me that if you're going to be a "chicken little", you wouldn't want to point out how wrong you've been before.
