“Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money…” Spoken by a man who never had to work a day in his life.

Thank you for this challenging quote, Eduwonk. I do hope that our nation’s response to our current economic situation is to look beyond money for happiness instead of entering into a national depression because we don’t have it or toward a national trend of being misers because we hold so tightly to what we do have! I also hope that the financial constraints will force the government and individuals to think hard about what we prioritize. A lack of abundance can be a value-strengthening force.

Fitting, that on election day this blog would have a quotation from FDR, the president who exacerbated the Depression, befriended Stalin, brought economic fascism, pushed for the mass carnage of WWII, and wrought misery on most Americans. There will be no progress until this nation stops kneeling to the FDR god and believing all the statist nonsense that comes with this false religion. But when the FDRists control the education system it becomes that much harder to dismantle.
