I still maintain that funding communist prison state that had our economy handed to them on a silver platter after killing roughly 60 million people, is a bad idea.

I see we meet again.
This is a similar debate that you, Bing, and I were having on another thread. There are people on the forums who have read some things on Rothbard and think they can only afford to look at economics through consumerism. When it fact, that is not realistic. A lot of the cheap products comes into our country, destroys our companies because that country's government subsidizes its good TO flood our market. People are okay with that, but against sanctions on Iran. HYPOCRISY!
Anyway, I would rather live in America during the 50s than this shit.

Yes, I have been down that road a number of times.
I know some staunch free trade/open border folks here that I consider to be some of the best and brightest advocates of liberty and freedom out there, but we just totally disagree on this issue.
I agree.

1950's was a scary time. Fear of nuclear anilation. Look up Duck and Cover. The Cold War in full swing. Scarier to more people than the terrorise threat.
Inflation was more of a problem- passing nine percent in 1951 which would be the highest rate of inflation until 1974- and we were not actually the fastest growing economy at the time- Japan for one was doing better.
Manufacturing ceased to be the largest employer in the country by 1956. Huge corporate conglomerates emerged. Source for some of this: http://economics.about.com/od/usecon...a/post_war.htm
Freedom is a state of mind. Nobody can take that from you unless you let them.
You better concern yourself with the way China does to their workers--cause we're next! Inhumane conditions will circle the globe if we do not stand up now!!

As if duck and cover was going to do anything to help you should a nuclear war ensue.
The propaganda has just gotten much more sophisticated in 60 years. FEAR does work to keep people in line.

America 1950 in a runaway. We're on the cusp of a literal breakdown of our decaying civilization in 2012.

“Our illegal population alone exceeds the all the Irish, Jewish and British immigrants who came. Each year, we catch more people breaking in at the border than all the Swedes and Norwegians who came to America in 200 years. Half a million illegal aliens succeed in breaking in every year, more than all the Greeks or Poles who came legally from the Revolution to 1960..” - Patrick J. Buchanan
If you really can't see that the cold war was nothing more than fearmongering and propaganda you're obviously lacking in critical thinking skills. The same people who imposed communism on the Russians are the ones who control US foreign policy.
