instead the federal government came in and paid the farmers to kill their own cows and bury them all/which then brought beef prices out of the deflation that happened.

Debt is okay as long as it is used to build capital infrastructure and invest. When debt is used to consume, to import goods, then it tends to be terrible for the poor and middle class. That foundation of morality you speak of is savings. The level of savings in our country has fallen spectacularly. Hopefully, the federal reserve raising interest rates can stem the tide against the dollar.

This program is interesting .It's almost a commentary on the time it was made 2009-10. It's primarily US centric with a few Frenchmen thrown in. Who don't throw light on France or the UK or the triumphs and horrors of Russian communism. based upon Marx and Engels. Conservatives in the US and elsewhere in the developed world were conscious of how Lenin's Communists had overthrown a democracy from the inside . Then proceed to liquidate the conservatives and liberals and then the socialists. Thus making them extremely suspicious of some of Roosevelt's often well meant actions, which looked similar and the machinations of. some organised labour which shared an affinity with Lenin. This. program is not balanced politically, historically, geographically or economically but it's still informative.

The depression was caused by the brutality of unregulated and aggressive capitalism. WWII was a result of America needing to call in the loans to Germany Hitler's rise was a consequence. FDR was the first and last president to use the government's responsibility and the people's taxes for relief for the starving and unemployed. Roosevelt had the courage to challenge the powerful and unregulated banking industry. Oligarchs planned a coup to remove FDR and asked a retired military General to execute it. We are about to lose the position of world economic leadership. There's no loyalty from the massive corporations that have benefited from low wages and corporate welfare in America. Unregulated and aggressive capitalism will be our downfall again.

[@here_we_go_again2571]

@judithsullivan9703 The conditions laid down by the Versailles treaty is what caused the problems in Germany, post WW1 Because of the post WW1 prosperity in the USA, Americans had invested in Germany (as well as in France and in the UK). Hoover's withdrawing of American assets did not help the situation in Germany. But the situation in Germany was going to go south anyhow. Even if a huge blow-out of a stock market crash had not occurred; eventually manufacturing would have declined because the Brits and France were not going to absorb the excess of US consumer goods because both were revamping their own industries and paying off their war debt to the USA

[@judithsullivan9703]

@@here_we_go_again2571 Actually when Germany wasn't able any longer to pay the ridiculous and punitive restitution amount demanded them in that unachievable treaty then France moved right in and seized the manufacturing and processing factories. The depression caused Germany to no longer be able to make the money through taxes to even run the government. They also lost 10% of the country to France, England and Russia. The German people were literally homeless starving and now unemployed. The German government was run by arrogant elderly and unresponsive generals and didn't even realize the despiration in the streets or they ignored the people. How do you think Hitler could just take over? The Jewish people weren't allowed to work or live outside of the capital so they did indeed own over half of the businesses in Berlin. It was easy for Hitler to name bourgeois capitalism as the predator raping and starving them. He named the Jews as that group and said they were all in on it and part of a secret society. The German people aren't monsters and evil it was an easy fit. When the Nazis seized Jewish property and financial assets the country did pull up out of the deep depression. They did look the other way while their neighbors were shipped off. So when the propaganda machine kicked in it was a well oiled machine. France England and Russia were on the hit list. No one ever questioned him and he invaded.

(After the Stock market crash of 1929 the US did enact a series of laws to regulate the stock market. It also passed the First Glass-Steagall Act of 1932 and the Second Glass- Steagall Act (aka:.Banking Act of 1933) as well as another banking act in 1934 In addition subsequent acts to regulate banking and the stock market were passed) ***Actually the loans were given to Britain and a portion of those loans were loaned to France from Britain.

@@juliantheapostate8295 They set up the federal reserve act to set the purpose, structure, function of the federal reserve system. It was to create economic stability by setting up a central bank. It's purpose was to correct the system that lost people's savings when the banks went bust. It was a regulation just to insure the deposits for the people who used the banking system. This gave the confidence back for people to invest again. That stabilized the banks after the depression. It didn't regulate anything else. So I don't know what your referring to?...
