I recently ran across this "ISM" video from 1948.

That year must have been about the time that Ike warned us about a large Capitalist group having gained the power to destroy us from within. The ISM video is a popular propoganda cartoon around the time of McCarthyism, ironically another ISM. The Eisenhower prediction is pretty much what recently brought the USA to its knees, runaway Capitalism. Like runaway Labor, only worse. Don't be swayed by high dollar propoganda from handwringing Capitalists hoarding the wealth that all of us contributed to. We are a long way from full Socialism. Balance is the key.

Government interference in the lending system was the main cause of the current economic collapse. Banks forced to make loans to people that could not afford them. You can thank Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in large part for this mess.

The government taking control of more of the economy is an increase is socialist policy. The government should be limited by the constitution, but they have been trampling on it for a long time. If we let capatilism work we would be much better off in the long run. People that can't afford their loans should lose their houses. Companies that can't afford to stay in business should go out of business. Their needs to be failure for our system to survive. Inflation is coming, and the more money this government prints will only make it worse.
