If this were late 1930's Germany ...

Sure, how's it going then. Virus is ripping through your country with ease, your federal debt is at record levels compared to GDP, there are street riots almost every week now. Weather events tend to hit your country particularly hard in recent years ( eg floods, fire damage, hurricanes ). Health care is rapidly getting expensive to the point that it's life changing for millions of people.

Just wanted to point out that many, likely most, historians believe the cause of the second World War was the First World War; specifically the price the allies extracted on Germany in the Treaty of Versailles. J.M. Keynes, the youngest -- mid thirties I believe -- of the British delegation foretold the disaster that would ensue, but had not the influence to stop it. The signing of the treaty was followed almost immediately by the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. The economic catastrophe that befell Germany was exactly as Keynes had predicted.

Yes, that is in the textbooks. Interesting the extent of resources Germany was able to gather so quickly in spite of being “Beaten down”. Sure gave the Allies a run for their money.

Temporarily; apparently Silicon Valley couldn't find an American to get the job done. While you guys are bitching about California and globalization some people are making it work for themselves rather well.

Germany, in the period between the Nazis coming to power and their invasion of Poland, is the best example of the application of Keynesian economics the world has yet seen.

They borrowed all the money they could and just as they were due to start repaying which would have crushed their economy, started the war, looting invaded Europe to repay who the needed to. Privatisation of state resources (i.e. fascism, not socialism), increase working week to 60 hours and of course there was some Jewish wealth.

I guess a lot of Republicans are hoping America can just do similar, steal the money now owed from somewhere, probably burn Chinese creditors.

Just like US haters Prince Harry and Meghan Markle yet, they did not go back to the UK from Canada? They chose the US? What is wrong with these people?
 
In a bit of good news, a couple of US haters finally left the US. Whew. That was close. Now, they can enjoy their Socialist Utopia which is Greece. We can only hope Tom Hanks can entice his buddies in Hollywood to make the move to Greece or any Socialist country of their choice. I do not really care. Just get the hell out and leave the rest of Americans in peace.
