Look At It This Way (#LAITW)

No one would ever need that, right?! Wrong. Zimbabwe let inflation get so out of control circa 2008 (231 million percent per year inflation) that they chose to print more and more money instead of dealing with the underlying cause. That meant higher and higher denominations in order to avoid literally covering the country in paper money.

That’s not the record, though. Inflation in Hungary peaked at a staggering figure of 13.6 quadrillion % per month in 1946! That’s 13,600,000,000,000,000%. The largest denomination bill was a 100 Quintillion note. Prices ended up doubling every 15 hours at the time.

Well worth the view… YouTube. Some notes:

How has the Democrat party who brought slavery, Jim Crowe laws, and the KKK held onto the black vote for so long?

America is not racist.

Abortion is murder.

The Left needs God.

Racially-motivated police brutality is a myth. The father-absence in the Black family is not a myth.

Democrats say put illegal aliens first, ahead of millions of blacks and hispanics at poverty level. I say build the wall.

I believe in the Black New Deal.

Stop obsessing over our past and focus on our future.

Idealize not sports heroes but black accomplishers.

Conservatives need to invade culture.

If conservatives can swing the minority vote by just 5%, we win.

Economist Thomas Sowell was on the show Coast to Coast (Fox Business Network). He explained why he toyed with socialism as a good idea once, and why he ultimately rejected it. Facts. When asked if he thought the U.S. would become socialist, he said, “I do have a great fear that in the long run we may not make it, and I hate to say that. And the one thing that keeps me from being despairing is, of course, we don’t know. There’s so many things we can’t possibly know, and so we may make it. But I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t bet on it.”

As Limbaugh said, “if you don’t have the facts — if you’re never taught the facts, if you are never taught the empirical data of truth — then you’re left to wallow in the rhetoric.”

Sad to think moving to socialism is any kind of possibility in the U.S.

Socialism for the Uninformed by Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Kinda gets back to the old adage, “Socialism works great until you run out of other people’s money.”

If demand outpaces supply, prices go up. Vice versa, vice versa. Socialism, which gives by taking, is doomed to failure. Always has been, always will be.

Did you see Oregon just passed the first statewide rent control? Oops. That won’t end well; see above.

The history of human existence is one of tyranny, bondage, slavery. It wasn’t until those “old white guys” constituted a nation that focused on the individual and limited, very limited, government. They understood that nearly all the woes of the people historically came from too much government – whether a king, a dictator, a dynasty, communism, socialism, you name it. And it has lasted now well over 200 years. The question is, will the folks who want to use government to control individuals (and enrich themselves in the process) succeed, or not.

The United States, how originally prescribed, is better.

And while I’m at it, let’s try to remember this (among many important) factoids. The United States is NOT a democracy, it’s a republic. Those that don’t understand the difference are doomed to regret.
