Two years before the great crash

@LadyDragonfly 🥥 Oh, and a quick historical side note: Per #ThomHartmann, for many, many years the #GreatDepression was known as the "Great Republican Depression."
Put THAT in your pipe and join a #union. 🥥

As Janet Yellen admits that #dedollarization will send the dollar to hell, the #US Congress fears a huge dump from #China!
Why is Yellen being asked to prepare for this potential disaster?
It's because the #USeconomy is on the brink of collapse at this point, so a treasury dump by China will guarantee the New #GreatDepression of 2023

30th #POTUS #CalvinCoolidge on his successor and fellow #Republican #HerbertHoover : "For six years that man has given me unsolicited advice – all of it bad." 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge#CITEREFFerrell1998
The #GreatDepression began during Herbert Hoover’s lone term as President. 🤷🏻♂️

Almost none of us lived through the #GreatDepression so we should probably consider it. #Washington needs to raise our debt ceiling like we've done numerous times before. NO REASON to cut things like veteran care and access to food - esp. when you ignore the #Pentagon.

🥥 #ThomHartmann recounts the history of recent economic downturns and how they could explain why the #GOP wants to crash the economy. Spoiler alert: Another #Republican #GreatDepression would be #BadForBiden.

Common sense tells us that this will make it shrink faster, but expansionary austerity (incorrectly) predicts that governments that cut spending will produce "investor confidence" and trigger more private investment.
This reliance on what @pkrugman calls the "Confidence Fairy" is tragically misplaced. Hoover's cutbacks made the #GreatDepression worse. So did IMF cutbacks in "East Asia, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland."

FDR proposed age limits on judges - which was just a roundabout way of forcing the retirement of the long-serving judges who'd been appointed by the #GildedAge plutocrats whose greed had precipitated the #GreatDepression. Forcing retirements on the #NineOldMen would open up seats for FDR to fill.

11/23 And then the stock market crashed in 1929.
#FranklinDRoosevelt, a Democrat based in New York (the north!), won with a Texan as running mate.
As the effects of the crash mushroomed into the #GreatDepression, #FDR initiated several new #SocialPrograms primarily to help those southerners whose #plantations — er, farms — had become poor (since they'd lost their slave labor),and "forgotten".
The Democrats were sliding towards being more progressive and based in the north!

Big ice storm in S.E Michigan Tuesday and Wednesday, still no power at my daughter's house. We're staying at my niece's house until the power comes back on, but we're not alone. Other 'refugees' here and we're kind of having a party, so there's no chance to write the piece I'd planned.
I've been wanting to share this piece at some point, anyway, so here it is.
