I have searched and searched and cannot find an affordable copy of Quigley's Tragedy and Hope. Can you point me in the right direction? Our library doesn't even have a copy..... and I cannot afford to pay the 100 dollars + for most editions.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Recently I was listening to NPR do a story on RON Paul becoming chairman of Domestic Money Policy. Someone they were interviewing about the Federal Reserve was asked why we have the Federal Reserve overseeing our money and the guy said because historically politician's can't be trusted with the money so we need an "independent" 3rd party to handle things. However, Jan, you stated (correctly) that "Nationalizing" the Fed would essentially put it back in the hands of the PEOPLE.
ReplyDeleteThere is a BIG distraction going on by the RIGHT where they mislead the people into believing that the govt is some nefarius entity that is not to be trusted. YET, in theory, our GOVT is supposed to be OF THE PEOPLE. Yes , we "elect" politicians to represent our interests and currently they do NOT do that... but again, if the PEOPLE were informed and empowered we would be able to properly run things.
It is tricky rhetoric that certain groups play to get folks to hate one side (politicians) and never fully understand our govt system. Folks don't want to "Nationalize" something as that is "evil Socialism"... and that ends the debate!.
Thanks
