Democrats Nostalgic for the Great Depression

God bless those Democrats. They're so nostalgic. This is not a new Great Depression, but if we all try hard enough, we can make it one!

They long to take us back to yesteryear, when financial collapse ushered in an era of solidarity and equality. We were all in this together. All together in the crapper, but we were all together.

Ah, what a time it was: Hobos huddled around open fires down at the rail yard, bankers were jumping out of windows, and we spent more time at home with family because we had no money to feed our gas-guzzling, smog-belching automobiles. We flocked around radios and hearkened to the voice of a beneficent father figure, worshiping at the feet of Big Government.

Yes, Big Government liberals, who were smarter that we were, made all our decisions for us. And Politico reports that the Totalitarian Trio of Obama, Polosi and Reid have plans to bring back the good ole' days .

With visions of a massive liberal majority in the next Congress and the power to remake economic policy for the next generation, Democrats are dusting off their New Deal history books and openly discussing the idea of re-engineering Depression-era agencies for the 21st century.

Several lawmakers want to bring back the Home Ownership Loan Corp., and others have discussed resurrecting the defunct Reconstruction Finance Corp., a federal program that made direct loans to businesses. Others see a lame-duck stimulus bill less as a short-term cash infusion for the economy and more as a long-term, government-driven jobs creator — a kind of modern Works Progress Administration that invests in infrastructure, bridges and roads.

Oh yea, they've got plans! We are not going through a depression, but the Totalitarian Trio will bring us a New Deal solution anyway. They just can't keep their pathological self-loathing to themselves:

We're bad, we're dirty, our carbon footprint is too big. We're racist and fat and too successful. Time to quash this jingoistic belief in American Exceptionalism and remake America to look and act more like the rest of the world...

... Oh, and they want to rescue the United States from the evils of Reaganism, free-market capitalism and conservatism. They blame the current debacle on Republicans to divert attention from the Democratic socialist policies that caused it. To drive a stake through the heart of conservatism and reestablish the dominance of we-say-so liberalism is the real agenda.

It will definitely be a Change. And we'll all be Hoping for an end to it once the nostalgic Democrats' crank up their big government, big spending, big intrusive solutions for every nook and cranny of our lives.
