Without war the cartel had no cover for such idiotic spending.
At that time the people had just barely recovered from the depression (and war) that the cartel had created.
People avoided debt because it had been the ruin of so many in the recent past.
Politicians of that era knew they'd never be elected if they supported such utter stupidity (or corruption.)
Today, there is no memory of those times and the cartel and politicians can continue the fedgov on the road to ruin
(and the cartel still hasn't been punished for the depression and treasonous war activities.)
With Europe and Japan bombed out hulks, the economy of the US was the supplier for the rebuilding.
That produced tax surpluses for the fedgov and helped pay down the war debts.

Gavin NewsCum's balls were snatched off by Satan when Gavin made a deal with him to become President for 7 years. It might even be worth it just to watch him die on television during the 8th year of his Presidency. Oh no. My FBI agent is going to report me if I accidentally predicted the future. Please oh please let me be wrong!!!

That turd-laying SNAKE must not be allowed to turn the USA into LA, my God!

I have asked myself that about society. Why does shit float to the top? I think because honest hard working moral people who want to raise a successful and loving family have no desire to run for office. Only the selfish, narcissistic amoral types want to tell other people what to do and get paid by them to steal even more from them.

Titusville is 70 minutes from campus and 40 minutes from my house. You are always welcome to join!

I did a 1280. 760 Math, 520 Verbal. I was not clear-headed in high school thinking verbally with language, but thinking mathematically was easy.

New-Sum obviously LIED about his SAT scores. Or else he was just an intelligent, arrogant goof in high school. He is intelligent verbally and who cares about his math skills. He is not a dummy, he is a smart snake.

Do not mistake these liberal snakes for dummies, they are intelligent and evil. Kamala was not at all an air-head. She was certainly Mrs. good head, but her campaign persona was built similarly. Dumb it down, and hire speech writers to come up with a John F Kennedy "Ask not what your country..." type of sound bite. She tried "The significance of the passage of time" bullshit repeated 4 times in one minute or so. Said once, it would have been ignored and forgotten. She repeated it 4 times, to the effect of cementing the idiotic word salad into people's memories.

Yeah, I guess she's just an idiot to make such a stupid mis-calculation. Everyone knows that she sucked her way almost to the top. She certainly was trying to give Biden a heart-attack suck that would make her President. That's why Jill despised her. She knew.

Notice how the black man got silent while he was being insulted as unintelligent, while New-Sum was condescending towards him at the same time; yet he then responded by smiling and going along with it...I wonder if the black man there was secretly hating New-Sum by trying to save face in public by liberal peer-pressure. He basically sucked a dick, hated every second of it, and then gave a big happy grin. I would love to actually know what was going on in his mind...true ignorant compliance, truly manipulated, or just afraid to stand up for himself and truly insulted....

I wish I could post photos in here. I have such a good cartoon meme of her standing in front of a urinal...maybe I downloaded it from you years ago...?

The most interesting chart I like in there is the one that surveyed people's personal values. The survey asked people what they valued most: Living a meaningful life, or making lots of money. In the 60's and 70's people largely preferred living a meaningful life. The trend began to reverse "around 1971" and now the trend shows that fewer people want to live a meaningful life and would rather make lots of money.

A simple concept, that of LIMITS, generally a facet of CONSERVATISM, was thrown out the window along with the gold standard. Then people realized that money was free, the politicians started printing and stealing more and more, while throwing money at the People which only corrupted people's values.

Nice job, tricky Dick!

But it would have happened anyway, it was inevitable. A Liberal at the same time in history would have eliminated the gold standard in a bleeding-heart beat.

Why did the "Fiat Bank Cartel" allow for the debt after WW2 to be reduced? Why not just keep on running up the tab?

I was with you all the way until you got to "great on rations and on those terrific powdered eggs"....yours must have come from a different place than the ones I had!! :)

Thanks for the explanation, NS - I was at the same place as 73S - spinning in circles in the ole' brain.

He has been working on doing that, with some success. However, it is fairly embedded and is going to take time. It is always amazing to me how a system can get FUBAR'ed in one Democrat term and then the adults come back in the room and it takes two or more terms to unwind.....

Thanks for the post LP - well stated. And when the state discovers a way to infringe, and the courts back them up the second step is always more intrusive.
As was pointed out in the article, coming next will be stopping vehicles to check for "subversives" or whatever they decide a good reason would be....

I don't make it to Florida anymore because the relatives I had in New Smyrna Beach passed away, but I have a brother with a place outside of Titusville but he is rarely there. It would be a hoot if I could sit in the back of one of your classes and just listen in and I'd buy you a steak dinner for the privilege, but alas me getting to Florida any time soon is very unlikely. Sometimes a Feynman video will pop up on YouTube when I'm exploring it at night and I'll click on it. Many times he's over my head, but playing the video over helps out. I figure sitting in one of your lectures would have the same impact, but no rewind, LOL! I've taken the liberty of exploring some of your work online, which you put up links to, and I wish I was 50 years younger to take more advantage of it.

And that would be a tough way to commit suicide....

No bet rainman - They would win going away. Especially if they counted all of the "suspected" Arkancided bodies....

I just didn't know it.

What a great way to get into the weekend. Well done.

Thank you, DOB and OUC!

Dino, you are a poet.

Loved the last one. And deliver us from evil.

I teach about that O-ring example every semester. Our former university president was on the disaster investigation team that testified before Congress.

That situation was entirely preventable. There is a Discovery Channel documentary on that disaster that was accurate and fairly complete, but I know more of the story.

The Morton Thiokol engineers tried to call off the launch because they knew that the coefficient of thermal expansion was high enough that the O-ring would shrink too much. The temperature that morning was an all-time record cold in recorded Titusville, Florida history of 18 degrees Fahrenheit. We just had our coldest temp since then was about a month ago, and quite a few plants are going to be replaced this March.

DUI checkpoints aren't always near places that serve/sell adult beverages, either. Odd, don't you think?

Nice article, LibertPen.

Way back when I was still working for a large corporation job postings with "diverse candidates welcome" always meant white male need not apply. Maybe Pete Hegseth will make a difference by throwing DEI into the trash can of history.

For sure, but it doesn't even have to be cryogenic cold. Some time back I read a biography on Richard Feynman (title: "Genius" as I recall) and he determined the Challenger disaster was caused by an O-ring that cracked due to the extreme cold snap the launch pad and rocket suffered just before launch. Choosing the right materials is crucial.
