Harvard Economist (and 166 others) agrees with my views on the bailout! :)

First off, the Great Depression was caused my the government not following the constitution, and this economic crisis is created for the same reasons,

How do you figure that?

I am not going to say it was an issue of constitutionality or not, even though some of FDR's policies were rules unconstitutional. The cause of the GD was an inflationary boom that could no longer be sustained. With that being said, the GD was prolonged because of government intevention. 

Correct.

Incorrect. Your historical revisionism is fanciful but not entertaining. And once again, how was the Great Depression caused by not following the Constitution?

You do pretend to know a lot about economics and banking and how people make money (and lose it). Do you make a lot of money or do you just talk a good game? Just wondering if your theory of how the world works is any good in practice. Or are you practicing it? And how exactly would that work?

 

I do pretty well. I drive a $90,000 car, and live in a 2,300 square foot home on a lake, with 14 acres of land, in a vacation town.

I was also born poor and work for a living, so I would say my understanding of how economics work has been put into practice.
