Reply to comment by dressageishard in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway. Nelson Aldrich, a powerful senator with close ties to Morgan, led a mission to Europe in 1908 to study the workings of the central banks in England, France and Germany. The Federal Reserve was created a short time later by mankls3

It was obvious that Trump was a danger to our country in 2016. I remember telling my nephew, a history teacher that very thing. He assured me the country had endured much worse politicians. He quickly admitted he was wrong. You may have but we elected a person who at best was a complete lunatic. At worst, he was indebted to the Russians and fed them info and favors. Our country is slowly retreating into nationalistic bullshit. Our system of checks and balances have been proven to be able to be overcome with crooked congressman and Supreme Court judges working together.
