Perspective

This is interesting. And telling. I found this little tidbit in the middle of a blog in Power Line about the possibility we may be asked to bail out the auto industry too.

As early as the early thirties, Herbert Hoover was promising "a chicken in every pot, and two cars in every garage." Later that decade the Moscow commissars screened "The Grapes of Wrath" in movie theaters to prove how bad the Depression was in America, and to show the failure of capitalism. It backfired, to cite an auto phrase. In the movie, the poor Okies are shown migrating to California...in automobiles. Few in the USSR had cars. The Russian audiences thought the Okies had it okay.

Isn't it a shame we seem to be moving away from Capitalism.
