Great News: Smoot Hawley II

As if spending 75% of the near trillion dollar “stimulus” package on things such as contraception (ha, nice pun there) wasn’t enough, it appears this great piece of legislation making the rounds of the Senate as I write this is full of incentives to buy American only – another nice legacy of the 1930′s. Let’s see, to complete the ruin of our economy, all that is needed is a tax increase in a few years. I am not even close to going out on a limb to predict that once we get any sign of economic improvement, the tax increases are coming.
Add to that a possible re-emergence of trade wars, and you’ve got the perfect re-enactment of the 1930′s without even having to read a history book!
