The Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637
The later part of the 20th century saw its share of odd financial bubbles. There was the real-estate bubble, the stock market bubbles, and the dot com bubble, just to name a few. In each instance of price inflation people paid exorbitant amounts for things that shouldn’t have been worth anything like the going price. And each time people stood around afterwards and said “What were we thinking?”

One has to believe that the same thought occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century when they settled down after their bout with tulipomania, wherein the humble tulip bulb began to sell for prices to make New York Realtors blanch.

As much as the tulip is associated with Holland, it is not native there. Rather it was introduced in 1593 by a botanist named Carolus Clusius, who brought it from Constantinople. He planted a small garden, intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. Had Clusius’s neighbors been morally upright, the tulip might still be a rare exotic in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his bulbs in order to make some quick money, and in the process started the Dutch bulb trade

So does that mean that the Union supports NAFTA and the TPP now? Hillary does.
Among the conclusions: Of the A.F.L- C.I.O. That NAFTA increased corporate profits while depressing wages; that its labor-protection provisions have not improved labor conditions on the ground; that its environmental standards have not protected the environment; and that higher trade flows have not meant shared prosperity, AND HAS COST THOUSANDS OF UNION JOBS
Looks to me like the Union bosses have sold out yet again.

Things like this, is what`s wrong with our government. We have an oligarchy, and we do not even realize it. This video is refreshing because it speaks the truth. Chaffetz calls out the crimes of the FBI.

Bull that speaks the Truth of it...If Trump were to lose. I think the movement should maintain momentum. He can lead from Trump Tower... This movement will not just melt away...It is our last Great chance at restoring Liberty into our lives...I have faith that the masses will choose Trump. But I do not trust the system of our election process to keep it real.
