Chicago Tribune cartoon from 1934

Here is an editorial cartoon 75 years old! Seem familiar? Most all of us know what happened and how long it took to get things straightened out. Most of those in DC weren't even born then!

Look at this cartoon from 1934 and look especially carefully at the plan of action. Remember the adage, "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." Looks like we could be in for difficult times. Frightening.

This could have been drawn yesterday. What has changed?

CARTOON FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 1934

Plan of action for U.S.
Spend! Spend! Spend
Under the guise of recovery - bust the government - blame the capitalists for the failure - junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship.
