People interested in the connection between finance and politics should read the Cambridge University Press book on the Wiemar Republic. I am upstairs and the book in downstairs and I can’t remember the author’s name. He is a Brit. The Wiemar Republic and especially the cities and towns after 1919 spent more than the collected in taxes. The Great Depression hit Germany earlier than the other major countries. More and more Germans lost trust in the coalition government but Hindenburg’s actions allowed the Nazis to come to power.
I believe that the Obamites, ignorant of theat history, but angry with the existing system want to radially change our democracy. But unlike Adoph they have no Mien Kamp to guide them. Plus they are even more corrupt than the folks they want to replace.
