Herbert Hoover

Hoover's plan the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, although not a direct parallel operated for the same anti-capitalist "bail out" goals as TARP.  
Hoover was a proponent of the concept that public-private cooperation was the way to achieve high long-term growth [ie Socialism].
Hoover ran for election on Engineering credentials. A very Futurist/Progressive appeal.


Hoover gave us the Smoot Hawley Tarrif

Hoover raised taxes from 25% to 63% and Unemployment soared to 25%

Van Jones



He got it wrong and upon realizing it, immediately corrected it. 
 as 'Green Jobs Czar' [The Green Jobs approach having destroyed the economy of Spain]
 Any fan of Beck's knew his motivation was never a firing; that being the WH ploy to get the subject, that hiring practices of the White House, dropped.

In Van's own words as reported in an "East Bay Express" article titled "The Face New of Environmentalism by Eliza Strickland
The Subheading now says:


 

"Van Jones renounced his rowdy black nationalism on the way toward becoming an influential leader of the new progressive politics."



But in the same article it says:

"Before, we would fight anybody, any time," he said. "No concession was good enough; we never said 'Thank you.' Now, I put the issues and constituencies first. I'll work with anybody, I'll fight anybody if it will push our issues forward. ... I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends."
His new philosophy emphasizes effectiveness, which he believes is inextricably tied to unity. He still considers himself a revolutionary, just a more effective one, who has realized that the progressive left's insistence on remaining a counterculture destroys its potential as a political movement. "One of my big heroes is Malcolm X, not because I agree with Malcolm, but because he wasn't afraid to change in public,"

KKK, Prohibition & therefore Gangsterism, Farm Subsidies, The Constitution as a "Living

Document", Judicial Activism, Eugenics, Federal Segregation & Segregation of the Armed

Forces, WORLD WAR II, The Abandonment of the Gold Standard, The Federal Reserve,

Concentration Camps in America TWICE, The Murder in the womb of countless Black Babies,

Open Borders, The Popularization of Keynesian Economics, the New Deal, Czars in America,

The Great Depression, lreat SOciety", The "New Bill of Rights", Welfare, THE PONZI SCHEME

OF SSI!, BANKRUPT Medicare, Lawsuits Ironically crippling businesses with impossible

Handicap accessibility codes (Particularly in California), The Bailouts, The Stimulus, The

"Great Recession" THE HC Bill THAT HAS TO TAX FOR 2 YEARS TO PAY FOR 1 YEAR, & THE

& Republican Representatives are responsible for the The Civil Rights Act, LBJ (P) voted

against the first 1 that Eisenhower (R) Wrote, & only signed the 2nd because of pressure to

do so.

George Bernard Shaw


July 26, 1856 – November 2, 1950









  
__________________________________________________________________________________

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bernard_Shaw#Politics

GBS was a 'Class Struggle' Themed Author, Supporter of Stalinist USSR [and denier of the famine], Fabian Socialist, and shavian Eugenicist.

Shaw asserted Class Warfare [as the state of affairs] Condemning democracy [of the time] as inadiquate due to the ignorance & apathy of workers caused by 'greedy' employers.

Shaw beleived in "Shavian Eugenics" as an eventually Natural Super Man solution; that is, he believed a "Life Force" subconsciously drew women to select superior mates [Classes there-obstructing], for superior children.
Shaw, influenced by Henry George's views on land Nationalization in 1882 concluded private property rights for land was theft, and advocated Equal Distribution of it, and natural resources.
He believed in restricting pay for individuals not only to a single rate for all, [to eliminate poverty], but also limiting pay to only be given to individuals for their labor.
"You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself."
The Board to justify your existence along with an entreaty to scientists to invent a 'humane but deadly gas' is construed by some to be 'Ironic Satire', this defense fails to convince most, due to continued lack of all but circumstantial evidence.
Monster or Fool, this concept helped kill 12 Million ppl in the Nazi Germany's Holocaust.
"To cut humanity up into small cliques, and effectively limit the selection of the individual to his own clique, is to postpone the Superman for eons, if not for ever. Not only should every person be nourished and trained as a possible parent, but there should be no possibility of such an obstacle to natural selection as the objection of a countess to a navvy or of a duke to a charwoman. Equality is essential to good breeding; and equality, as all economists know, is incompatible with property."
