CM Sackett sent me a cartoon from a 1934 edition of the Chicago Tribune. Wow. It’s like history is repeating itself all over again:

“SPEND! SPEND! SPEND – Under the guise of recovery – bust the government – blame the capitalists for the failure – junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship”

Click the image to see it full size to be able to read all the type. It’s really incredible.

    Notice one of the 'shovelers' named (ICKES).

    That is a long-time POSitition of “progressive” “fame”… and the father of one HAROLD ICKES.

    Harold was the Deputy Chief of Staff ~ for one BILL CLINTON ~ and even played a major roll in the current occupant's “rise” to the top of the bowl.

    Even the HuffPuffPost says so: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/03/obamas

    It's a tight-knit and LONG-RUNNING pack, eh?

    Nice find Sackett, so relevant to today it's scary.

    In 1939, FDR's SecTreasury, looking back over the last several years said, “Wasted, all that money, wasted”.

    But you won't hear that from and Democrats today. They're too busy spending money we don't have.

    A very dear (and VERY UNpolitical) friend from Pennsylvania had that tucked away, and shared it with me.

    Marye Slyker… YOU ROCK!!!

    God I hate political cartoons which label everything with wordy labels. Might as well write an essay instead.
