Change the subject?!!  Liar! That is MY ORIGINAL POST - MY POST, MY 
SUBJECT

===========

A century ago, bureaucracy was minimal. The 1920s followed a worldwide 
pandemic that killed an estimated 17.4-50 million people. While the virus 
spread, the Great War raged; we can still picture the dehumanizing use of 
mustard gas and trench warfare. When the war ended, the Roaring Twenties 
erupted as an antidote to grief. Despite Prohibition, life was a 
party-until the crash of 1929. The 1930s opened with a global depression, 
record joblessness, homelessness, and hunger. Despair spread faster than 
the pandemic had.

This was the context when Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in 1933. 
The nation was demoralized by nonresponsiveness, corruption, and rot. 
Over the next decade, FDR passed a series of policies that made up the 
New Deal for American workers. He reset our measure of success from "take 
what you can hold" to "a chicken in every pot." Large public projects put 
people to work. Pride in earning a living, providing for families, and 
building together helped heal. These common efforts-Hoover Dam, CCC 
reforestation, rural electrification-are reminders of what's possible. 
They still belong to us, the people. FDR fought with industrialists and 
their politicians to level the playing field for working Americans.

Before FDR, Presidents Warren G. Harding (1921-23) and Calvin Coolidge 
(1923-29) championed a "small government, pro-business" creed-lower taxes 
and regulations, high tariffs, and a hands-off posture toward corporate 
power. Their era also carried the stain of major scandals like Teapot 
Dome. With that context, today's moves-tariffs, shrinking federal 
capacity, pressuring the Fed, and a fog of favoritism-feel like a remix 
of the 1920s playbook. So what do we do about this?
The 1920s ? 2020s: the rhyme we can't ignore

A century ago, America flirted with minimal federal guardrails just as 
new risks were exploding. The decade glittered-right up to the cliff's 
edge. Today, we're repeating patterns that predict more suffering and 
earlier deaths, especially for kids, elders, and low-income families.

    Public health pullback. The 1920s briefly invested in maternal and 
infant health (Sheppard-Towner) and then let it die in 1929-exactly when 
families needed it. Today, cuts or rollbacks to public-health capacity 
(disease surveillance, vaccination programs, mental-health lifelines) 
send the same message: you're on your own. We know how that story 
ends-avoidable deaths that land heaviest on those with the fewest 
resources.
    Environmental non-protection. In the 1920s, national air and water 
protections didn't exist. Industrial growth came with a hidden casket 
count: heart and lung disease from soot, chemical exposures, poisoned 
rivers. Now, attempts to weaken pollution standards, methane controls, 
conservation rules, and climate resilience push us back toward that pre-
regulatory baseline-just as heat waves and wildfire smoke intensify.
    Labor and child safety were viewed as "cost centers." Before modern 
labor law, workplaces were more lethal and kids worked dangerous jobs. 
Loosening enforcement today or expanding hazardous youth work echoes 
those risks-and robs children of schooling that lengthens lifetime health 
and earnings.
    Breadlines without safety nets. The 1920s offered little protection 
when incomes collapsed. Today, proposals to shrink SNAP, Medicaid, and 
IRS capacity (which delivers the EITC and Child Tax Credit) weaken the 
very programs proven to improve birth outcomes, reduce medical debt, and 
stabilize families.
    Moral panics, real violence. Then, Prohibition and nativist politics. 
Now, defunding community violence-intervention and loosening restrictions 
to carry weapons even as political temperature spikes. Then as now: when 
prevention capacity is stripped, the funeral homes get busier.

The throughline is simple: when we dismantle the basic public functions 
that make freedom real-health, safety, fair rules-life expectancy falls. 
There's nothing "pro-life" about that.
