I have talked before about why I don’t vote, but I’ve been thinking about it again the last few days.
Here’s a question: Did the New Deal really end the Great Depression, or did World War II end it? It’s important because we’re experiencing a massive economic meltdown right now and a lot of people are calling for the government to do something. But can it even help, or only make matters worse?
It is unknowable. Yes. I am saying that the answer to this question is not able to be known by anyone but a full-time historian, and even that would require some conjecture. So that leaves us regular people only one course of action, to parrot whatever our personal favorite leaders think.
Being involved in politics at any level to me is like being swept away by a mighty river with supposed rescuers on either bank yelling contradicting instructions at me.
