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

Law requires enforcement: If the IRS BLM and EPA want to be relevant they need to "crucify a few decenters" to get the rest of the population in line. What happened to the primary role as advisory agencies of the federal government? That is what we were sold when these agencies were established.
Jack Ludwig the federal government is too big, it is trying to do too much, the reason why we have a republic is to divide the task of governing to the many states. Yes in some states the rules will be different but that's ok. If one state finds a better way of doing something then the other states will adopt those regulations. When there is a monolithic government there is no innovation, no improvements, no efficiency, we saw this when the government allowed the monopoly of Bell Communications to control all telephone services telecommunications was stagnant for 50 years. And just how much governing is required to control you? I would think none at all. Which is true of most people. So why would you want to continue to allow the government to grow its power over you and your liberty?
Hillary events are staged. Here is a short video that points out a view that may prove it.

LAST NIGNT
Clinton, responding to opponent Donald Trump and a question posed by debate moderator Chris Wallace, boasted specific and “damaging” details about the United States’ nuclear response time to retaliate during a nuclear attack. Clinton said:
“But here’s the deal. The bottom line on nuclear weapons is that when the president gives the order, it must be followed. There’s about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so.” –Hillary Clinton, National TV Appearance
“Secretary Clinton proved tonight she is unfit to be commander-in-chief,” a top-ranking DOD intelligence source said. “What she did compromises our national security. She is cavalier and reckless and in my opinion should be detained and questioned so we can unravel why she did what she did.”is Top Secret intelligence governed under the U.S. Special Access Program (SAP) which dictates safeguards and protocols for accessing and discussing highly classified and Top Secret intelligence. The specific details of the country’s nuclear response time discussed by Clinton, sources said, are only known by a handful of individuals outside top military brass, including the following “need-to-know” (NTK) officials:
We've got four minutes to duck our heads - thanks for that Hillary
