On Weimar Hyper-inflation

Here's a short piece on our future, I mean, the Weimar Republic. Note the last two paragraphs and tell me if it isn't a harbinger.

I'm from the Federal Government and I'm Here to Help!

If you want a small example of the good the federal government can do when it becomes interested in promoting your welfare, and thus seeks to increase its nanny responsibilities, here you go:

In 1965 a report came out warning that 1 out of 4 black children were born out of wedlock*. In 2007, after over 40 years of LBJ's Great Society, a mere 71+% of black children are born out of wedlock†. By the way 50% of those children will live below the poverty line**.

Obviously what we need is a government that is looking to help even more people.
