50 year old cartoon

YouTube - Cartoon predicts the future 50 years ago. This is amazing insight!

Don't know anything about the group that put the captions on this. Don't care. I liked the cartoon.

Classic stuff. I've seen that. Ah, back when propaganda was a ~good~ thing. :)

Guess we didn't heed the warning

Too many people want the "fluff" instead of what this country was based and made from.

Amazing video, thanks for Sharing!

I'm sure it will be just as relevant 50 years from now, too. The real problem is that the vast, vast majority of Americans (liberal, conservative, and everything in between) all very much want their ISMs.

There are a few Tea Partiers out there that look to me like they mean what they are saying, but that's about it. John Boehner might be wishing he wasn't Speaker of The House as he tries to convince the rebellious freshman class of reps that we don't really want government out of our lives.

Nothing against Boehner, by the way. I actually have come to kind of like him. And he does a better job of sticking to his principles than almost any of his colleagues. It's just the reality that most are in favor of cutting spending unless it's spending that benefits us.

I kind of like Rand Paul's slogan. "We'll spend what we take in." Expenditures have to equal tax revenue. Argue it out, but that's where the buck stops.

I agree with the first statement and like the second.

One thing that got me about the cartoon was that special interests were a problem then and before. Human nature vs. statesmanship.

Well said JackieB.
