Also since the US and Pre Hitler Germany have a LOT in common at least as far as the debt goes and the dollar etc not going as far are there aspects of how Hitler fixed the economy and how we can fix ours?

How Hitler Tackled Unemployment

This was fascinating to me because a lot of it was written or taken from a US adviser to several American presidents.

Why doesn't the US tell the Federal Reserve to take a hike and issue our own currency that's not backed by the international banking arena? That's what Germany did.Seems to have worked wonders.
 
Oh goody! Yet another revisionist history posting! Yeppers, first he got the RAD (Reich Arbeits Dienst- National Labour Service, Bill Clinton tried to revive it here in the USA and didn't even bother to change the name) going which mandated "compulsory volunteerism" (otherwise known as slavery) and then, when that stopped working, he invaded Poland!

Hooorah! Let's invade Canada!

You progressive loons are all alike! All you know is slavery and murder.

Lol....Did it not work here in the US? Never heard of it...oh and you obviously didn't read the link....guess that adviser to several US presidents was/is lying. So much for legit debate....

No, it didn't. FDR's actions actually LENGTHENED the Great Depression by at least three years. Thanks for playing but you need to be an adult to engage in educated conversation. Let us know when you grow up.

I am guessing you would against The Military Draft then right? I see NOTHING wrong with forcing people to care for their own country for 6 months....not a damn thing. It shows them pride in being whatever race/nationality they are,it improves their country where they expect to make a living why should they NOT be required to help take care of it? Aren't you against parasites just living off of others? Well they were helping for 6 months and then went into military again a very patriotic thing.

I was talking about Clinton's idea of the NLS. But anyways the GD helped MILLIONS out of poverty...silly thing to be against IMO. I am plenty grown up I just disagree with you on this. You obviously want little government involved I want a lot of government involved.

Of course you don't. Progressives never do. As far as the draft go's I see no problem with it in time of war. Other than that it is ethically unsupportable in a free society.

Pride is not instilled by servitude no matter how much you wish it to be. Resentment and anger are the usual results of policies such as you advocate. In Germany the RAD worked because their society was a subservient society. Always had been. That harkens back to the feudal life they lived under for several centuries prior to the wars that destroyed the feudal, and patriarchal systems that ruled the continent since the end of the Roman era.

No, world war II and the VA bills are what built the middle class. There are actually MORE people in poverty today (even after LBJ's 5 trillion dollars spent on the war on poverty) than there were before the GD.

Best get your facts straight.

I am not a progressive I have said several times what I am. A racial socialist. There is no such thing as a free society when some are so poor they have no choice BUT to join the military or labor service and some are born with a silver spoon so they can skip that. Therefore as a society we must require everyone do equal amount of work for the nation. The nation comes first not the individual. From the poorest person to the richest ALL must put work in to make the nation better.

When you are a supporter of collective government you are by definition a progressive. And LBJ was a huge progressive. That's why his "war on poverty was an abject failure. Progressives are not good at money management.


And here is the basic problem with your anti capitalist screed. Socialists merely want to take the pie and divvy it up in whatever manner they deem "fair". Capitalism on the other hand realizes that all that does is keep everyone (except for those who get to do the pie cutting, they always seem to do real well for themselves) poor and in shackles.

To ensure that the largest number of people get the bigger part of the pie you have to make the pie BIGGER. That's where you children always fall down. You simply can't get it it through your thick "I'm a victim" skulls that the bigger the pie, the better it is for everyone.

Socialists are truly infantile in their view of the world.

So Hitler was a progressive? Lol...OK. I am a supporter of a collective group of people governing themselves in a society just for them according to their principles. You wanna call that a progressive go ahead...been called worse and its never bothered me....I know what I am and that's all that matters.
 
I would like to STRONGLY reply to this thread!

To do what was done by Hitler, you had to have a person in COMPLETE control. You had to throw out civil liberties. You had to confiscate peoples businesses. You had to demand that they could only make what that ONE person insisted you could make. In other words, you have to have a DICTATOR!

We see (if we know history) how that seems to always work out for the people. We seen how it all worked out for Germany, now don't we.

Socialists, Communists, and Liberals always think they have the answers. To do their solutions, they always have to CONFISCATE something, from people, because they have never been able to create something themselves. CONSIDER: when a very wealthy person decides to give his/her wealth to a cause, while people may laugh at the cause, do they complain? NO! We believe it is THEIR money, they made it, and if they want to give it to (insert anything you wish here) it is up to them.

Now look at Socialism, Communism, Liberalism. (and when I say Liberalism, I mean modern Liberalism) Their whole shtick is to confiscate, and redistribute. To do this, they require a person who will DICTATE these changes, because if not, the smart people who have assets will spirit them away. To do this also, they must steal, cajole, and basically go against human rights; as they did by confiscating every Jewish persons business in the 3rd Reich.

This is our model put forth by the author of the OP? We are to be Hitler, Stalin, Mao? And yet, in the next breath, this guy supports giving Iran 150 billion we could have kept? Talk about inconsistencies!

Socialists, Communists, and Liberals all follow this same mantra. The all powerful government, telling you what you can, and can NOT do, for the good of the collective; even if it infringes upon your civil liberties. They always want a strong head to enforce their beliefs, (ala Hitler) and if you do not comply, then you go to a gulag or concentration camp.

Normally, it is said when someone invokes the name of Adolf Hitler, anything else they say is to be ignored. I DISAGREE! I think this is a teachable moment about how far LEFT the liberals have gone, and believe they can get away with it, and slip it by YOU, the American people.

Yes, he was. Pay attention here because the concept I am going to tell you is pretty hard. Government systems are on a teeter totter. One side is maximum government control and minimum individual freedom. The other side is anarchy. You know where there is no government and the individual is tantamount.

Those are your choices. Anyone who believes in maximum government control is a progressive. That's their mantra.

Hitler and FDR tackled unemployment with make-work govt jobs. Today we know that each make-work liberal govt job you create destroys one real private sector job. Therefore, no net gain is possible.

You are obviously of the republican/libertarian/conservative and we are never going to agree on economics etc. trickle down doesn't work. A collective works when its done correctly. In the US not a chance it would work.

Hitler put people back to work rebuilding the nation who cares if it was government jobs or private entity jobs? Also no not ALL jobs in Germany were of government and by government. That would have been impossible.
 
Hitler put people back to work rebuilding the nation who cares if it was government jobs or private entity jobs? .

a govt job is a make-work job while a private sector job is a real job. Do you have the IQ to understand?
 
Also the small things aren't what I was talking about. Hitler managed to completely reverse the economy so fast because he had the government print its own money and leave the international bankers grasping for air. It was another reason war was declared against Germany. Today there are only 3 nations with no Rothschild banked national bank. Iran,North Korea and Cuba. Few years ago. Afghanistan,Iraq,Sudan and Libya were on that list. Managed to invade 2,help take out another and Sudan the last one split into 2 nations.
 
. trickle down doesn't work

dear, if you are trying to say that capitalism does not work you are being stupid and liberal. China just switched to capitalism and instantly eliminated 40% of the entire planet's poverty. Imagine how ignorant you must be not to know that?

When there is work that needs done again why does it matter? Roads needed built in Germany so people were hired to do so. Some of it was Government some was private industry. Any government that was FOR the people BY the people as NS Germany was is just fine by me. Some people just hate government no matter who or what its for etc.I am of the belief government is great as long as it serves those its intended to serve.



Although German businesses flourished, profits were controlled and by law were kept within moderate limits. / 21 Beginning in 1934, dividends for stockholders of German corporations were limited to six percent annually. Undistributed profits were invested in Reich government bonds, which had an annual interest yield of six percent, and then, after 1935, of four and a half percent. This policy had the predictable effect of encouraging corporate reinvestment and self-financing, and thereby of reducing borrowing from banks and, more generally, of diminishing the influence of commercial capital. / 22

Corporation tax rates were steadily raised, from 20 percent in 1934 to 25 percent in 1936, and to 40 percent in 1939-40. Directors of German companies could grant bonuses to managers, but only if these were directly proportionate to profits and they also authorized corresponding bonuses or “voluntary social contributions” to employees. / 23

Between 1934 and 1938, the gross taxable income of German businessmen increased by 148 percent, and overall tax volume increased during this period by 232 percent. The number of taxpayers in the highest income tax bracket -- those earning more than 100,000 marks annually -- increased during this period by 445 percent. (By contrast, the number of taxpayers in the lowest income bracket -- those earning less than 1500 marks yearly -- increased by only five percent.) / 24

Hard to have business income increase if no one was working to produce products no? Again I don't care if government was employing them or a private business was. The end result was the people as a collective were better off for it.
