You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
And by a completely unrelated coincidence, I happened to find this article about the German Interior Minister’s views on politics during times of crisis.
“We learned from the worldwide economic crisis of the 1920s (1930s) that an economic crisis can result in an incredible threat for all of society. The consequences of that depression was Adolf Hitler and, indirectly, World War II and Auschwitz,”

I’ll grant you. That’s a really really bad quote and he is going to have to watch his words a tad more.
But isn’t he cute? I told Shannon that viewership of MSNBC, CNN, and Fox is going to skyrocket every time he comes on the screen 🙂
Hey… everyone is drawn to politics for different reasons… HA!

The way I interpreted it, wasn’t hearkening back to WWII Germany or any such nonsense, but that it’s the proponents of the ‘status quo’ that prevent measures to be developed that may have avoided crises in the first place. (Can’t trust the free market to do the ‘right thing’- most often it’s profit vs. consumer protection.)
Seems that his comment speaks to ‘inertia’- objects at rest tend to stay that way etc. When something catastrophic happens the only way to right the applecart is to start picking up the pieces.

Great posting , You really hit the
mark with this, I just don’t understand why people quite get what you’re saying.
I’m not for sure how many individuals I’ve talked to about this very
thing in the past few days, and they just don’t understand.

Rahm Emanuel is a millionaire investment banker (until 2002). There is nothing “cute” about that when he’s holding the reins of your future well-being.

[…] Bart Hinkle (with inspiration from Bob Higgs) gives a potent example of the wisdom of James Madison’s warning that (to quote the line that leads Bart’s essay) “Free men must guard against the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in government.” (Note that Madison issued this warning long before Rahm Emanuel gave it modern salience.)

Cordain wrote a book about his weight loss experience called A Life Unburdened: Getting Over Weight and Getting On With My Life and he’ll share his story with us on Monday.
