I believe very much as you do, as you've stated it, Sean.

And in the light of that, lately I've been looking long and hard at Bernie Sanders. Sounds like the best thing to come down the pike since FDR.

For those whose history is a bit fuzzy, FDR put a country in the middle of a severe depression back to work with such programs as the WPA and the CCC, along with several other "alphabet agencies," which not only fed a lot of people, but rebuilt the country's crumbling infrastructure. He also instituted Social Security and several similar programs, while setting up agencies to regulate Wall Street and the Banking industry, which were robbing people blind. All, of course, to the howling and caterwauling of the moneyed interests.

Ronald Reagan systematically began dismantling FDR's programs and regulatory agencies, which is one of the major reasons why things are way to hell and gone out of balance now and getting moreso.

Bernie Sanders talks more like FDR than anyone I've heard in recent years. He said that he's been looking long and hard at some of the Scandinavian countries, wherein live some of the happiest people on the planet, to see how they do it.

I'm watching closely....
