Looking at them now, you have to wonder if they oversold their message, but back then? Hard to tell how much it helped because most people I ever talked to that survived the Great Depression never ever trusted banks again.

"This bank as a member, shares in the strength and the protection which federal supervision affords."
They were selling the security of centralized power in exchange for individual liberty then, and they've never, ever stopped. It's amazing its taken this long for the whole thing to come to the brink.

They didn't have the kind of destroyers, or the number of them, available back then like we have now.

People owned their on brains until the 70s.
Social forces pushed women out of the family and into the workplace.
This displaced their children who were shunted to day care.
Day Care a brand new baby sitting enterprise where generations of children were deprived of being raised as an individual in a mother's love but instead was taught the ultimate priority of getting along with others.
It's been easy going for the commies since then.
Mark it as the time they stole our children's brains.
Today, those children have children and possibly grandchildren.

No sh*t! I want friends and family to be as good to me as I am to them, that compact loses all meaning when applied to government!
