Remember "The Great Depression", probably not...but it's in your history books and my grandparents said it was hell. Our country has the Republicans to thank for that, as well.

They claimed to be fiscally conservative. Reagan's 1980 RNC Acceptance speech should be required listening for any so-called Conservative. A Time for Choosing was also phenomenal. He was a libertarian before he was a Republican, at least in thought.

In short, according to Friedman and Schwartz, because of institutional changes and misguided doctrines, the banking panics of the Great Contraction were much more severe and widespread than would have normally occurred during a downturn. …

Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.

Best wishes for your next ninety years.
Bernanke: Federal Reserve caused Great Depression

FRB: Federal Reserve Act

Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat. He signed into law, the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.

Why would anyone vote for someone who will do to us what the past Republicans have done to us ? America will not be able to survive more
debt.
