"""Black unemployment, which had been the same as that of whites in the 1950s, from the early 1960s rose above white unemployment. The gap between black and white unemployment widened. Welfare programs funded by presidents Johnson and Nixon expanded rolls to an appalling extent—"""

Expanded for simple reason...WHY WORK IF GOVERNMENT WILL PAY YOU NOT TO WORK"""

Who'd a thunk? The same people who thought closing all the states' mental hospitals a swell idea.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Ezra Pound was confined to St. Elizabeth Hospital in 1945 for making radio broadcasts for Mussolini's Fascist regime. He was there until 1958 when he was released due to pressure from fellow poets.

After his release it was found that Pound was totally sane.

He commissioned Eustace Mullins to write a book about the history of the Federal Reserve, which is not federal and has no reserves. ;)
