Yes...interesting. Pres. Roosevelt seems to have thought very highly of himself.
(from the article)
While the anti-trust laws will be relaxed by the new legislation, the public will be protected against the abuses which led to their enactment, the President promised in his statement. He said that they would still be enforced against "monopolies that restrain trade and price fixing which allows inordinate profits or unfairly high prices."
The whole spirit of the act, he declared, would be to protect industry that cooperates completely and endeavors to raise prices justly, and at the same time keeps up wages and shortens the working hours so as to increase employment.
(the Pres. speaks)
"History probably will record the National Industrial Recovery Act as the most important and far- reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Congress. It represents a supreme effort to stabilize for all time the many factors which make for the prosperity of the nation and the preservation of American standards.
Its goal is the assurance of a reasonable profit to industry and living wages for labor, with the elimination of the piratical methods and practices which have not only harassed honest business but also contributed to the ills of labor.
While we are engaged in establishing new foundations for business which ultimately should open a return to work for large numbers of men, it is our hope through the so-called public works section of the law to speedily initiate a program of public construction that should early re-employ additional hundreds of thousands of men."
-bartermania- The evidence that I've seen recently points to the Fed as being the creator of the great depression. They manipulated and stole our money/currency/country and by law they claim to own us as well. Ain't that just great?! Oh yes...and they own our stocks and all too. Yes, these humanitarians (sick joke) are centuries old experts at manipulating markets up and down to their advantage.
ps. Socialism, ignorance, deprevations, perpetual debt, and cages for the people...while big business and the money-changers combine to govern and carve-up or change the whole world to suit themselves. Gee...how nice!
