WarrenJ Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Gerald Ford (14 July 1913 – 26 December 2006) , the 38th President of the United States. "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." Agreed...100%. We have WAY TOO MUCH government now.

WarrenJ Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think that Ford may have been quoting Jefferson. I can't give you an honest answer to that. BUT, it sounds about right. If my quote was about that right, but slightly "off the mark," I expect Gerry might owe me a "Nathan's Hot Dog." Not much chance of collecting, huh?
