Im afraid thats exactly what he has in mind.

Yeah, I saw that thread. What's worse is that the New Deal wasn't the first significant cultural event to begin the destruction of a great nation. They all followed the same pattern; Increasing state control to the point of economic collapse followed by interventionist, militarist, and socialist economic policy in a vain attempt to avoid the economic collapse that a centralist state inevitably brings.

Well, at least there's some hope for today's generation. Rome didn't fall in a day.
