| Mike Rogers' latest YouTube video is a masterpiece of mangled American historical facts and emotional ranting. Kicking off with the statement that "before the Constitution, before the Revolutionary War" Benjamin Franklin was the "finance chair of the Pennsylvania state legislature," Rogers goes on to say that the Great Depression was solved by plucky individuals: So you think about it, the Great Depression, over 30% unemployment for years, the poverty level in the United States was staggering, but we didn't give up. We didn't say, "you know what, it's too hard, the federal government should do it for us." We didn't do that. For details, drop by Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. |
