Run on the Bank

Smoot-Franks ...er, Dodd-Hawley

In a bit of backward engineering, FDR apologists only recently, as near as I can tell, began this drum beat.  Roosevelt's heavy handed trashing of the Constitution was necessary to stave off an impending takeover by communists.  The next four years, then, will be interesting, given that the communists will be steering the ship of state.  As you astute readers know, nine years of FDR tinkering did absolutely nothing to quell Great Depression I.  What  did?  That's right, global war. I see a full circle ahead.
