Heed FDR's views on bailout
"The lessons of history ... show conclusively ... that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. ... The federal government must and shall quit this business of relief."
Would that our elected officials in Washington would adhere to these suggestions.
